Welcome to the website of John Poplett.

If you are interested in unpublished novels, you can read about two of mine: Schopenhauer in Love and Paperback Mountain, on my Novels page.

If escapades from traveling around the United States in a Cascade Campers camper van, named “Atma”, sounds amusing (they are), please visit my Travels page.

If you like bittersweet but mostly sweet tales of a mother and son, you can read about Carolyn Poplett’s valiant eight-year struggle with dementia and all that they taught me. Read more about her here. Her stories are surprisingly uplifting.

I also write about philosophy and religion. Søren Kierkegaard is a recent discovery and fast favorite. I cannot conceive of writing without having these topics in keen embrace.
