Connor Wolfe (they/them) is a writer, photographer, publisher, and advocate whose work spans over two decades and fourteen titles. Rooted in both literary and visual traditions of storytelling, their practice moves between image and language, often inhabiting the liminal spaces where the two converge. Influenced by the lineage of Beat poets and folk singers, Wolfe’s work is marked by a restless attention to place, impermanence, and the quiet revelations of the road.
They are the founder of Wayfarer Magazine and Wayfarer Books. Wolfe’s literary contributions have earned six Pushcart Prize nominations, the Gold Nautilus Medal for Poetry (2015), multiple Foreword Review Book Awards, and the Nautilus Silver Medal (2022). Their innovative approach to publishing led to two terms on the Board of Directors for the Independent Book Publishers Association, a TEDx talk at Yale University, and a degree from Harvard University through grant programs.
In 2024, they volunteered in the Collections Department at the Museum of Anthropology at Ghost Ranch, assisting in the repatriation of sacred objects under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). After wintering along the foothills of Cerro Pedernal, Wolfe continues to travel and document the American West, working in both photography and verse alongside their three-legged black cat, momo.
