About this ebook

Jack Remick is a writer and teacher. As a young man, he worked as a tunnel rat, a bus driver, a house painter, a social worker, a retail clerk, and waited tables at the UC Berkeley Men’s Faculty Club where he rubbed shoulders with Nobel Laureates, scoundrels of all stripes, and international students from a dozen countries who taught him about cultural relativism. Remick learned to write poetry from J.S. Moodey in Centerville, California, and from Thom Gunn at UC Berkeley. When he was young and idealistic, he dropped out of Cal-Berkeley and spent time chasing rainbows in South America. When that didn’t work out, he repatriated, got degrees from Berkeley, San Francisco State University and UC Davis where he specialized in romance linguistics and French literature. At Davis, while studying with Jarvis Bastian, a psychologist, Remick discovered Claude Lévi-Strauss, psycholinguistics, and C.S. Peirce—discoveries that changed his life, his writing, and his mind. Remick reads and writes French and Spanish. For a short time, he was the only Spanish speaking social worker in Fresno County. Now that he is older and wiser, he has given up travel in favor of the sedentary life of a writing guru to hordes of writers in Seattle. He enjoys that very much and is very proud of the writers who practice the discipline. Remick taught fiction and screenwriting in University of Washington Certificate programs. He served for several years on the editorial board of Pig Iron magazine as fantasy editor, contributing editor and assistant editor.

    I was fortunate to watch Jack Remick read "Josie Delgado, A Poem of the Central Valley" at a Seattle bookstore. The experience was powerful, moving and memorable. So when I opened SATORI, Remick's latest collection of poetry from Coffee Town Press, finding "Josie Delgado" in print was a joy, the words there on the page to be read and reread, the power and shot-gun rhythm of Remick's voice ringing in my ears.

    But SATORI is much more than "Josie Delgado". The collection of seven sections offers readers, and non-poetry readers like myself, a rich collection of musical narrative not to be missed. It is a collection to read and reread,to cherish and share.
