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. -Red Pine, Choosing To Be Simple - Collected Poems of Tao Yuanming, Zen Roots: The First Thousand Years
Richard Jarrette's voice is unique. I don't know anyone writing in a manner similar to his. There are echoes of Merwin, Rumi, and the Chinese, but the texture and tone are all his own. The poems that pre-date Beso the Donkey are 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). -Joseph Stroud, Everything that Rises of This World: New and Selected Poems
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. -Yun Wang, Dao De Jing, Laozi, Translated with Li-Young Lee; Dreaming of Fallen Blossoms: Tune Poems of Su Dong-Po

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.
