Višnja Milidragović

Višnja Milidragović is a (creative nonfiction) writer and wanderer at heart (even when her body is in stillness). Born in Yugoslavia (current-day Bosnia), she now finds home on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (Vancouver, BC). Her work investigates belonging, both spiritual and visceral, through prisms of place, name, and identity. Her creative nonfiction writing has been shortlisted for The Malahat Review’s contest (2023) and The Humber Literary Review/CNFC contest (2021). She is currently writing her first book-length memoir, with support from a Canada Council for the Arts grant for early-career artists. Glass World is her first poem to be published.
