Pritts, Nate

Nate Pritts is the author of five books of poetry, most recently “Sweet Nothing,” which Publishers Weekly describes as “both baroque and irreverent, banal and romantic, his poems […] arrive at a place of vulnerability and sincerity.”  POETRY Magazine called his third book, “The Wonderfull Yeare,” “rich, vivid, intimate, & somewhat troubled” while The Rumpus called “Big Bright Sun,” his fourth book, “a textual record of mistakes made and insights gleaned…[in] a voice that knows its part in self-destruction.” His poetry & prose have been published widely, both online & in print & on barns, at places like Forklift, Ohio, Court Green, Gulf Coast, Boston Review & Rain Taxi where he frequently contributes reviews.  He is the founder & principal editor of H_NGM_N, an online journal & small press.
