Geneviève Desrosiers - Many are our enemies
Allow me to depart I hope this constraint to present only publications published in 2010, but for good reason: 2010 was the year when Genevieve Desrosiers really took place in Quebec poetry. I may have heard his name for the first time this year, but it was by five different people, so fascinated by its tragic fate as his poetry singular justifying the status of cult increasingly attributed to him . Poetry Geneviève Desrosiers, of course, is not it. It always struck by the originality and relevance of his wry humor that makes swearing, making spelling mistakes and talk about dirty bathrooms, Passe-Partout and children filled as cream cakes. But it also installs these images precariously on a background elusive and disturbing that gives all its gravity. Circumstances have placed his work on the same shelf as those of Louis Geoffroy, Huguette Gaulin and Josée Yvon, mythical figures discreetly Quebec poetry whose fascination they arouse working in secret poetry can be more effectively spent on these poets by literary history that overexposure often depletes more than it keeps in the news from memory.
