| 520 | |a Born in Montreal, Fernand Ouellette is a prolific writer, with works translated in over a dozen languages. His awards include: the Prix France-Québec; three Governor General's Awards; the Prix France-Canada; the Prix Athanase-David; and the Prix Alain-Grandbois. He is an honorary member of the Union des écrivains du Québec as well as of the Société littéraire de Laval. In 2005, he was named a Chevalier de l'Ordre national du Québec. In 2008, his poetry earned him, in Paris, the Grand Prix international de poésie de langue française Léopold Sédar Senghor, and in 2009, in Benin, the Grand Prix du Salon international des Poétes francophones. First published in 1988, Les heures marks a turning point in Fernand Ouellette's poetics while at the same time marking a memorable date in Quebec literature. Sparked by the death of his father, Les heures was written in a month, a feverish period of work that produced 81 poems to match the age of his father upon his death. The book has been described as an attempt to take back death, to hold it at bay through poetry. Book jacket | ||
