An irreverent, laugh-out-loud pastiche of free verse, hallmark card, bad truism, picture book, advice website, and meditative reflection on fatherhood.

This collection compels readers to ask what it means to share a heart with another human in a world on the precipice of destruction. Although Abel doesn't have an answer and likely never will, he understands deeply that 'the bond between a parent and child can sometimes be explained with words.' Here - brilliant, hilarious, and loving - are those words.

Dad Era explores Jordan Abel's role as a father to his daughter, Phoenix, and his relationship to popular and often toxic constructions of 'fatherhood' on the internet. Breaking apart the idiomatic registers that define parenting today using distortion, contrast, sequencing, and palimpsest, all qualities that have come to define his oeuvre, Abel explores what it means to live, laugh, and yes, father 'in a world without dads.'

Jordan Abel is a queer Nisga'a writer from Vancouver. He is the author of The Place of Scraps, Un/inhabited, Injun, NISHGA, and Empty Spaces. Abel has won many awards for his work, including the Griffin Poetry Prize and the Governor General's Award, and his latest book of poetry is titled Dad Era (Coach House Books, 2026). Abel is a Professor at the University of Alberta where he teaches Indigenous Literatures, Research-Creation, and Creative Writing.
