Life
Nathan Brown was born in Longview, Texas on March 16, 1965.[5] His family moved to Norman, Oklahoma in January 1970, where he grew up and went to college. He now hails from Wimberley,[6] a small town in the Hill Country of Texas where he has lived with his wife, Ashley, since 2013.
Nathan holds an interdisciplinary PhD in English and Journalism with an emphasis in Creative and Professional Writing from the University of Oklahoma.[7][2] After teaching at OU for almost twenty years, he returned to the Austin area to be closer to the music scene there and tours the country full-time as a poet, musician, and workshop leader. He has published 20 books, one of which (Two Tables Over) won the Oklahoma Book Award for Poetry,[6][1] and another, Karma Crisis: New and Selected Poems, was a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize in New Jersey.[6][8] He is the founder of Mezcalita Press.[5]
He also began as the instructor for the Descanso Creatives intensive workshop series in 2018. The workshops are a "deep-dive" and culturally-immersive writing experience. Beginning in Tuscany, Italy, future workshops are planned for Ireland (2019) and France (2020).
