From ABC BookWorld, "Jordan Abel holds a BA from the University of Alberta and an MFA from the University of British Columbia. He has been an editor for Poetry is Dead magazine and PRISM international. While completing his PhD at Simon Fraser University, his studies focused on "digital humanities" and indigenous poetics. Both of Jordan Abel's grandparents attended the same residential school in Chilliwack. As an inter-generational survivor of residential school, he has written and assembled Nishga (M&S 2020) to present how colonial violence from the Coqualeetza Indian Residential School impacted his grandparents' generation, as well as father's generation, and ultimately his own, although he never himself attended residential school. See a review of Nishga below. It is Abel's first book from a large Ontario publisher. The spelling of Nisga'a as Nishga is not a typo."

He appeared at the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts, Sechelt in 2016.
