Paul-Marie Lapointe is relatively unknown as a poet in English Canada, yet he is — as the most reticent of moralists and the gentlest of revolutionaries — among the strongest, most incisive, most essential voices in Quebec poetry. In 1972, Lapointe won both Québec’s Prix David and the Governor General’s Award.
D.G. Jones, himself a distinguished poet, is one of our foremost translators, and has been given the Governor General Award for translation.
