Jordan Wyberneit is low-key feral, gently heathen, & wildly autistic. She whispers 'I love you' to hummingbirds and hornworms. Her work centers on systems of life, hybrid identities, and the complications that inform modern human experiences. She holds an MFA in Poetry from Regis University and MS in Data Analytics from Colorado State University. She values justice, mercy, humility, kindness, and grace. After the Anthropocene is her debut collection.
