ABOUT ME

I am a queer emerging poet who walks an ever-swaying wire of technology and poetry. A 2022 Pushcart Prize nominee, my poems have appeared in Narrative, Rattle Poet's Respond, Nimrod, Arc, and more. Gordon was the winner of the 2022 Toronto Arts & Letters Club Foundation Poetry Award and a finalist in the 2023 Gival Press Poetry Award.
