Rivers of Living Water

Rivers of Living Water is a chapbook of Nate Crew's most recent verses, both unrhymed and rhymed as well as those somewhere in between the two. Composed in the earlier months of 2024, these pieces follow spiritual reflections, deal with the healing of grief, celebrate the beauty of natural life, and search for pathways of real-life harmony in human relations in this fraught generation.  



"I truly enjoy the musicality of these poems, their rhythm as well as the messages," says prolific North Carolina author Thomas Rain Crowe. "This is a book to help to raise human consciousness and survival going forward."  



This small collection, the author hopes, may serve as a lifeline for some individual readers as well as a source of lines of connection and reconciliation between those alienated from each other and from the living earth.
