Taos poet, printer and publisher, Judson Crews, passed away a month shy of 93 in Taos, May 17, 2009. A burial and wake was held at sunset May 17 in Tres Orejas.
Born in Waco, Texas in 1917, Crews was a pioneering poet and publisher of poetry beginning in the 1940's. Moving to Taos in 1947, where he marrried Taos photographer Mildred Tolbert, he worked as a job printer at the Taos News/El Crepúsculo for decades, where he published countless chapbooks. His innovation in this form in the 50s helped inspire the "mimeo revolution" of the 60s and 70s.
He edited the poetry magazines The Deer and Dachshund, The Flying Fish, Motive, The Naked Ear, Poetry Taos, Suck-Egg Mule: A Recalcitrant Beast, Taos: A Deluxe Magazine of the Arts, and Vers Libre, publishing poetry by Robert Creeley, Charles Bukowski, Stuart Z. Perkoff, Vincent Ferrini, Larry Eigner, LeRoi Jones, Jack Anderson and Diane Di Prima, among others.
His own poems were published in A Poet's Breath (1950), Come Curse the Moon (1952), The Wrath Wrenched Splendor of Love (1956), The Ogres Who Were His Henchmen (1958), and The Stones of Konarak (1966). He was published in Beloit Poetry Journal, Evergreen Review, Poetry Now, Wormwood Review, City Lights Anthology (1974), Poems Southwest (1968), and An Uninhibited Treasury of Erotic Poetry (1963).
He also wrote under the pseudonyms Cerise Farallon, Trumbull Drachler and Willard Emory Betis, and many believe, Mason Jordan Mason. Mason became known as an “American Negro writer” during the 1950s and 1960s and was published, anthologized, and hailed by such African American writers as Imamu Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones) and Langston Hughes as an important new voice in African American poetry. Although Crews denied the assertion, many believed that Mason was another of Crews' cleverly constructed literary personas.

| His sensitive transcription of Patrocinio Barela's reflections on his sculptures, published as Patrocinio Barela, Taos Wood Carver (1955) in collaboration with Wendell B. Anderson, with photographs by Mildred Tolbert, helped establish Barela's stature in the art world.
An early publisher of his good friend author Henry Miller, he was a life-long activist against censorship in publishing.
More detailed information on his literary work can be found through the University of Texas at Austin, where a large collection of his papers are archived, including correspondence with Wendell B. Anderson, Imamu Amiri Baraka, Kenneth Lawrence Beaudoin, Robert Bly, Charles Bukowski, Glen Coffield, Robert Creeley, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Carol Ely Harper, Langston Hughes, Aldous Huxley, John F. Kennedy, Meridel Le Sueur, Gordon Lish, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Larry McMurtry, Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Kenneth Patchen, Kenneth Rexroth, Alan Swallow, Louis Untermeyer, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Zukofsky. Other papers are at the University of California Los Angles Young Research Library and the UNM Special Collections Library.
He is survived by daughters Carole Crews and Anna Bush Crews, and 3 grandchildren. His grandaughter, poet & artist, Iris Crews McLaughlin, proceeded him in death.
