Nate Crew

Nate Crew’s day job is tending a small family horticulture farm in Wagram, NC. In a former and less poetic life he was a Special Forces soldier at Fort Bragg. He began writing poetry in 2021. The large majority of his poems are English, but he also dabbles in amateur Welsh verse (Grampa’s native tongue and still a faintly lingering Crew family language). To date, he has self-published three poetry collections. He’d personally describe his verses as a swirling mix of crude meter, experimental rhythms, free or blank verse, and the odd echo of old traditional forms. Much of the inspiration so far has come through such diverse channels as painful loss, psychedelic healing, sexual energy, centuries-old Welsh poetic culture, and contact with the deep, rich soil of the Wagram orchards.
