ABOUT

Jonathan Foster's The Crow
On The Crow you’ll find delicately crafted fiction, creative non-fiction, essays (and audio readings) encapsulating huge ideas, philosophical observations and fearless dives into the human condition.The Crow is a place of deep reflection where I take you on a journey through the intimate and the personal toward the sublimely universal. My writing packs immense worlds into the smallest spaces, laying open a shared disillusionment with societal narratives, environmental degradation, the trauma of capitalism, and the myths of identity.Yet I have a profound love and wonder for the human experience. My writing is a reminder that beyond all the violence and bullshit surrounding our existence there is extraordinary beauty and love which, if we let it, can allow us to experience the world as dignified and flourishing people.The best thing you can do right now is subscribe and get full access to The Crow newsletter and website.

And everything I’ve discovered is weaved into my writing here on The Crow.
