Ron Starbuck is the Publisher, CEO, and Executive Editor of Saint Julian Press, Inc., in Houston, Texas. He is the author of There Is Something About Being an Episcopalian, When Angels Are Born, Wheels Turning Inward, A Pilgrimage of Churches, At the Still Point: In Conversation with Saint Julian, and You Are Accepted: In Conversation with Paul Tillich. His collections trace a poet’s mythic and spiritual journey, interweaving Christian mysticism, Anglican tradition, interfaith dialogue, and contemplative practice.
The Starbuck family traces its heritage back to the original settlers and Quakers of Nantucket in the late 1600s, extending through North Carolina, Indiana, and Kansas after the Civil War, before settling in Texas in the mid-20th century. This legacy of faith and resilience continues to inform his vocation as both poet and publisher.
His poems, essays, and translations have appeared in Parabola Magazine, Tiferet: A Journal of Spiritual Literature, The Criterion, The Enchanting Verses Literary Review, ONE from MillerWords, Pirene’s Fountain, Levure Littéraire (France), La Piccioletta Barca, and The Tulane Review. His ongoing work and essays can also be found on Substack at ronstarbuck.substack.com.
A lifelong Episcopalian and former Methodist, he has been deeply engaged in Buddhist-Christian and interfaith dialogue for many years.
