John Paul Jaramillo

Award-recognized author and educator whose books and plays center on family, place, and the lived history of southern Colorado.

His fiction, plays, essays, and public work are rooted in place, working-class life, oral history, and the emotional textures of family and community. From novels to essays, his writing returns again and again to the question of how memory and family shape identity.
