| Submission declined on 27 April 2024 by Greenman (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Greenman 8 months ago. | |

Education and early career
[edit]Crew attended Shebbear College. She earned her undergraduate degree from Saint Andrews University, where she was given the Robert T Jones, Jr Scholarship to study at Emory University.[2] Crew received her master's from Exeter College at the University of Oxford and her MFA from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Studying under Beth Gylys and Josh Russell, she received her PhD from Georgia State University. While at Georgia State, she served as poetry editor and creative non-fiction editor for New South Journal. She taught creative writing as a visiting professor at Warren Wilson College.

Writing
[edit]Crew is author of the essay collection Other Girls to Burn. The book was selected by Alexander Chee for the AWP Prize in Creative nonfiction. The collection "nimbly explores the complex relationship between women and violence through the examination of rape culture and mass shootings, through the lens of cultural phenomena such as mixed martial arts and true crime, through the iconography of mythology and mystics."[3] In doing so, Crew guides "the reader through a series of lyrical essays that change the way we view not only violence, but how it came to be."[4] Published by UGA press, essays from the collection appear in Texas Review, The Missouri Review, Seneca Review, Prairie Schooner, and DIAGRAM.
Crew's poetry collection Don't Cut Your Own Bangs is forthcoming from YesYes Books in 2024. Poems from this collection appear in Poetry Magazine, The Gettysburg Review, Cincinnati Review, Ploughshares, and The Believer.
Crew's poetry collection Pink Museum was published by Big Lucks press. Her book places Crew and her peers as historically connected to the "all the dead women" who came before.[5] Crew describes the work as "a combination of pretty straight love poems, poems written in this other lyric voice (which is essentially Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s ghost), and poems that could be seen as a little aggressive."[6]
Editing
[edit]Crew founded and edited the online poetry journal ILK.[7] She variously held the Poetry and Creative Nonfiction editorships at New South Journal.[8]
Currently, Crew serves as the Nonfiction Editor for Pleiades Magazine.[9]
