This poem is straight out of a dream

Description
The winner of the 2025 CBC Poetry Prize is the Vancouver poet Jordan Redekop-Jones. Jordan’s winning poem, Mixed Girl as Cosmogonic Myth, was inspired by her experience of becoming a caretaker in her 20s in the midst of reconnecting with her cultures and finding her place in the world. It’s a dreamlike ode to her journey and her mother, who she calls “the strongest, most beautiful woman I know.” Jordan tells Mattea Roach about what draws her to writing, navigating her mother’s illness and what’s next for the emerging poet.
