my father’s muse
i listen to my father’s music the same way i wish he listened to me.

Jordan Rader (they/she), a recent UWS alum, now finds themselves more of an educator rather than a student. They spend their days as an environmental educationalist at a Park District, exploring any and all themes nature related. She’s picked up birding, cross stitch and crocheting, and disc golf to fill their post-grad free time. Their work has previously been published in The Nemadji Review, Volumes 12, 13, and 14.
