Rebecca Faulkner’s sophomore poetry collection, Daughters of the Minotaur, won the 2025 Terry J. Cox Poetry Prize, and is slated to arrive in print from Regal House Publishing summer 2027.

Daughters of the Minotaur engages with the life and work of five mid-century women artists. Both a powerful meditation on female identity and a celebration of artistic greatness, Daughters of the Minotaur is a lyrical conversation, a subversive reimagining, and a renegade act of feminist invention. These artists' radical and pioneering visions are woven together to confront what it means to live and work in a landscape dominated by patriarchal notions of womanhood and art.
