Larew’s fifth collection of poems, Mud Ajar, was published in 2021 by Atmosphere Press and his next collection, Patchy Ways has been recently released from CyberWit Press in early 2023. His poems have received the Louisiana Literature Prize, the Washington Review poetry blue ribbon and have been nominated for four Pushcarts. His work appears widely including in recent issues of Poetry South, The Brown Critique, San Antonio Review, Contemporary American Voices, Honest Ulsterman, Iowa Review, Amsterdam Quarterly and Best Poetry Online. Recipient of grants from state and county Arts Councils as well as the United Nations for his Poetry X Hunger initiative which uses powerful poetry by poets worldwide to alleviate hunger, he is also the founder of Voices of Woodlawn, a powerful program of poetry, music and art that explores America’s tragic history of plantation-based slavery.

He assists Baltimore (MD) WBJC Classical Radio (91.5 FM) to identify poets for featuring on the widely broadcast Booknotes program and is a Board Member of The InkWELL.

Dr. Larew is a Courtesy Faculty at five U. S. universities. He lives in Maryland, USA.

          When I speak twig
                       above me
                        the sounds are unimaginable
            Each swollen bud laces its shoes
                         and those earwigs their pinches
                          squeak out to my growing
                                         gold day
            They grab my damp heart in-waiting…
                                         - From
In-Waiting
