Jiordan Castle is the author of Disappearing Act, a memoir in verse. Her writing appears in The New Yorker, The Rumpus, The Millions, and elsewhere, including the anthologies Best New Poets (2024) and What My Father and I Don’t Talk About. She received her MFA in poetry from Hunter College and now lives in Philadelphia with her husband and their dog.
