Nicole Brossard

Nicole Brossard, born in 1943 in Montreal, published her first collection at twenty-two and co-founded in the same year the journal La Barre du jour, which turned Quebec poetry away from nationalist lyricism. A leading figure of formalism, she turned in the seventies towards a feminist writing and became a reference in feminist studies. Twice winner of the Governor General's Award for her poetry, in 1974 and in 1984, co-founder of the feminist newspaper Les Têtes de pioche, she lives in Montreal.
