Saint Julian Press is proud to announce a new book of poetry, FAMINE CHAIR, by author RICHARD JARRETTE, to be published on July 12, 2024. Richard Jarrette’s poetic voice, with a touch and tenor of its own, resonates with the work of Merwin, Rumi, and the classic masters of China.
Advance Praise — Famine Chair
What an awesome chair! Looks like it might want to join me on my daily walk. Would be perfect for when I need to take a break.

Richard Jarrette’s voice is unique. I don’t know anyone writing in a manner similar to his. There are echoes of Merwin, Rumi, the Chinese, but the texture and tone are all his own. The poems that pre-date Beso the Donkeyare building to the miracle of what he accomplished there. But these have their own delights and mysteries, their illuminations and wonder. There is so much richness in his vision and a sense of the sacred along with an accomplished grace that is rare to find these days. It is wonderful to enter these poems (A Hundred Million Years of Nectar Dances).

Richard Jarrette combines erudition with profound simplicity and breathtaking beauty in Strange Antlers. He is a true disciple of the ancient masters, who can be heard and felt in these elegantly crafted poems full of poignancy and wisdom.

Famine Chair is not homage but an essential work of kinship. Richard Jarrette sits at a table with Red Pine, the classical Chinese and modern masters, and dines down to the marrow of a new poetry. Fifty years in the making, it is possible that poets in the far future will find these poems and be inspired to move their shared knowledge even further.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
RICHARD JARRETTE's formative years were spent in the Southern Appalachian Highlands of Western North Carolina, where he is considered a regional writer, and then in the Central Coast of California and its mountains. His poetry is informed by comprehensive landscape life cycles, alongside the influences of classical Chinese poets and foundational teachers. Beso the Donkey (2010) received the Gold Medal for Poetry from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association and was translated into Chinese by Yun Wang. Jarrette is retired from a forty-five-year psychotherapy career and is a practitioner of Tai Chi. His poems arrive in river valley weathers of the San Rafael Range, Chumash Lands, and on Pacific winds of Big Sur.
