Hello, my name is
Crow Jonah Norlander.
I live in Maine with my family of humans and hounds. I write poems and stories, interview people, and work on computers.
I’d like to hear from you about writing, reading, books, or doing something together as long as you promise not to sell me anything or steal something from me: crow@crowjonah.com
If you wanna know when I do things, there’s a newsletter: Subscribe on Substack
Selected Work
- Poem He Is Upstairs [Dream Boy Book Club] Missing my kid from one floor away, remembering I love life, and wondering how much of it I could still change.
- Poem “Schmeared Right Up to the Edge” and “I’ve Been Taking Such Deep Breaths” [Soft Union] Two poems about keeping a shirt clean, deserving a treat, and leaving most of a prayer implied.
- Story Welcome to Warehouse [FENCE] A fresh start, contingent on fingerprinting, bodily fluids, and a willingness not to look too closely at what you're sorting.
- Interview Responding to Animals: Kathryn Scanlan Interviewed [BOMB Magazine] Kathryn Scanlan on listening closely, caring for animals, and making Kick the Latch. I ask about selflessness and get a useful correction.
- Nonfiction Greyhounds [Suleika Jaouad’s “The Book of Alchemy”] My contribution to Suleika Jaouad's collection of essays and writing prompts. There are greyhounds.
