Since our inception, the Morrow Chapel at Trinity Episcopal Church in
Midtown Houston has been the venue for Saint Julian Press events. The Morrow Chapel
is one of Houston's most inspiring artistic and sacred spaces. A space we are immensely grateful to
the church for sharing with us and with the public who attends the reading
events we offer with great humility of spirit.
Our Inspiration
Our inspiration is Julian of Norwich, the Fourteenth-Century English
mystic and Anchoress, whom scholars believe was the first woman to write a book
in the English language. Julian’s major work, the
Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love,
touches on the very heart of
our mission as a twenty-first-century literary imprint, embracing her legacy.
Our hope is to publish transforming art and literature, which symbolizes
a radical openness to the literary and visual arts, cultures, and faiths across
humanity. Our wish is to open far and wide the doorways to an artistic dialogue
and exchange with you. Building an ever-expanding inclusive community locally
and globally that cultivates meaningful conversations across boundaries and
secular societies and encourages an interfaith exchange.
Saint Julian Press is answering a call in the inmost sense of that word,
for words and artistic expressions. We enter this endeavor for the pleasure of
art and writing to help transform the world, our world. This is a passion in
the deepest sense of that word, a call for a transformed world. Join us in this
journey where you will discover new voices and songs of transformation and
thoughtful provocation.

Our Direction
Saint
Julian Press is just beginning, planting the first seeds with poets, writers,
and readers alike. Our intention is to focus on transforming artistic works that
inspire and create lives of compassion and creativity. Our wish is to work with
artists, poets, and writers whose humble effort and brilliant light traces
ՠ
transformation.
Our
dream is to share works of art from many creative, innovative, diverse,
literary, and artistic voices. Numerous voices, established and new, deserve to
be heard, seen, and treasured
.
We wish to share the
transmuting and literary works of artists, poets, writers, and musicians
through public events and receptions, poetry readings, performances, books, and
internet publishing, building new artistic communities.
Our
sincere desire is to share this visionary journey through several imaginative
avenues a year, giving the public a unique and farseeing value to life-affirming
art, literature as language, cultural diversity, and evolving societies. Where
we actively engage and share with communities and neighbors, the people with
whom we live and breathe and share our lives with, new and known literary
voices and art.
