What is Jonathan Foster’s The Crow?

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 bio bit:

I am a writer living in Sweden. I have a loving family and a dog - see him at the bottom of this page.

I’ve spent a lifetime people watching and thinking and drinking tea, reading and discussing anything and everything.

I’ve lived in Canada, New Zealand, England, Guernsey, Spain and now, Sweden where I’ve been for over 2 decades.

I’ve worked in all kinds of professions and non-professions and I’ve done plenty of righteous abandoning of jobs because they were pointless, unfulfilling and morally indefensible.

I’ve always had an unquenchable curiosity to see beyond the facade, to disassemble the symbolic bullshit and discover something more in this world. And everything I’ve discovered is weaved into my writing here on The Crow.

The Crow is a labor of love - would you consider supporting my work by going paid?

Writing the delicately crafted fiction, creative non-fiction, essays (and audio readings) on The Crow takes enormous effort and time and is truly a labour of love.

And of course, you’ll get my everlasting gratitude :)

Thank you // Jonathan xx
