  • Jillian Christmas is a Canadian poet from Vancouver, British Columbia. Her work focuses on anti-colonial narratives, family, heritage, and identity. She is most noted as the 2021 winner of the League of Canadian Poets' Sheri-D Wilson Golden Beret Award for spoken word poetry. Furthermore, she has represented both Vancouver and Toronto at 11 national poetry events and was the first Canadian to make the final stage at the Women of the World Poetry Slam. Being born and raised on First Nation territories, and now living in Vancouver’s first nation territories, much of Christmas’ inspiration comes from colonialism and oppression as she lives in spaces of long-lasting colonial impacts, and hence is well educated through her life experiences on the topics she writes about. Her published debut collection, The Gospel of Breaking, was also a shortlisted finalist for both the Gerald Lampert Award and the Pat Lowther Award in the same year. The Gospel of Breaking is her first poetry collection novel, focusing on Jillian’s political beliefs, family, sexuality, and storytelling about love, friends, and community. She has also written the children's books The Magic Shell and My Sweet Baby Book. My Sweet Baby Book debuted at #6 on the BC Bestseller List. She is a former artistic director of Vancouver's Verses Festival of Words. She identifies as queer, and won the 2021 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Canadian writers. (en)
