Chosen from the first four books published by Paul Belanger, this selection of poems provides an overview of the work of an acclaimed French Canadian poet. With Projet de Pablo, a finalist for the emile Nelligan Award, Belanger began to cultivate his memory using various kinds of tools, and Picasso's works became the pretext to compare painting to poetry. In Retours, a finalist for the Governor General Award, the poet travels within to face the strangeness of the internal world. L'oubli du monde explores personal memory, as autobiography crosses history with well-tempered lyricism. Fenetres et ailleurs shows us a man tackling existential issues.
