Jordan Swift

Jordan T. Swift grew up in the flats of Western Kentucky with a love for writing that traces back to grade school. It wasn't until the age of 20 that he decided to make a career out of expressing himself through words, but didn't know where to start. In January 2019, after following advice from a mentor, he decided to build an audience for himself using Instagram and poetry. During that time, Swift built a fanbase of 15,200 people and released his debut poetry book "One Original Thought is Worth 100 Quotes" on March 10, 2020.

Following his book release in March he had the opportunity to answer a few questions during an interview for Train River Publishing. An Independent Publisher out of New York City, New York on their website www.trainriver.org

He is featured in two poem anthologies in the United States. Both can be found on Amazon.

He has poetry featured on www.lexpomo.com and also has a short fiction piece published in an Independent Literary Magazine based out of Denver, Colorado on www.whisperstoroars.com

Jordan now lives in Lexington, Kentucky, where he works as a para-educator at a high school. He enjoys the outdoors and rides his bicycle in his spare time. When he's not writing, you can find him either listening to music or hanging in a hammock. Sometimes both.
