Writer-in-Residence

Jordan Trethewey lives in Fredericton, NB, Canada, with his wife, son, and daughter. He is the writer-in-residence at the Fredericton Region Museum, and a past City of Fredericton Poet Laureate (2021-2024).

Jordan’s writing appears in many journals, such as Maclean’s, Arc Poetry Magazine, and Spillwords; on the right shoulder blade of a fan, and was included in a failed mission to rest in a time capsule on the moon. He is a member of the League of Canadian Poets, and an editor at Open Arts Forum. Some of his work is also translated in Vietnamese, Farsi, and French. 

Jordan’s latest book, “These Are the People in Your Neighbourhood” (2023), is the fulfillment of his legacy project as poet laureate. His books “Spirits for Sale” (2019), and “Unexpected Mergers” (2021) are collaborations with Dutch artist Marcel Herms. His poetry collections, “Peculiar Portraits,” and “SyncWord,” are forthcoming from Anxiety Press, and Gridlock Lit, respectively.
