About

Natalie Callum is a writer and poet living in Lander, Wyoming. Natalie’s poetry has been published multiple times in North Dakota Quarterly, “one of the famous ‘little magazines’ that have been the traditional seed beds of talented writers,” as well as Willawaw Journal and GLEAM. In 2025, she released her first collection of poetry, Dust Rises like Mist, which explores the natural landscapes of her journey moving West, the inner landscapes of the human psyche, and the intersection of the two.

When she isn’t writing, Natalie can be found outside exploring with her much beloved husband.
