Jean Huets grew up in Germany and several of the United States, including Hawaii, Illinois, North Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia. She is author of With Walt Whitman, Himself, acclaimed as a “book of marvels” by poet Steve Scafidi, and as “a true Whitmanian feast” by Whitman scholar Ed Folsom. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Kenyon Review, Rumpus, The Millions, North American Review, Ploughshares, Civil War Monitor and other journals. She is also author of The Bones You Have Cast Down, a novel set in late medieval Italy and inspired by the true story of the Popess tarot card; Alt Sagas, speculative fiction stories; The Cosmic Tarot book, based on the tarot deck by German visionary artist Norbert Lösche; and, with tarot authority Stuart R. Kaplan, The Encyclopedia of Tarot. She co-founded Circling Rivers, an independent press dedicated to poetry and literary nonfiction. A member of James River Writers and National Book Critics Circle, she lives in central Virginia with her husband, a cat, and several accordians.
