Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

There is much more to multi award winning bestselling poet Richard Jarrett's work. On this episode of Words on a Wire, Jarrett speaks with host Daniel Chacón about his influences and inspirations. Join in and find out how Jarrett made the switch between being a psychologist to a poet, how his small town in which he lives in and the people who inhabit it inspire and encourage his work and how he translates life experiences into surreal almost mystical poetry.  Jarrett's latest book of poetry is titled "A Hundred Million Years of Nectar Dances".
