Alain Grandbois

Alain Grandbois (1900-1975), born in Saint-Casimir into a wealthy family, received his grandfather's inheritance while young and travelled for nearly twenty years: he settled at Port-Cros, in the Mediterranean, travelled through North Africa and India, and stayed in China, where a first selection of his poems was published in Hankou in 1934. Back in Canada in 1939, his fortune lost, he wrote more than one hundred and twenty texts for the radio from 1950 to 1952. Winner of the prix David as early as 1942, the prix Duvernay in 1950, the prix Molson in 1964 and the prix Athanase-David in 1969, he died in Quebec City.
