Offers an overview of the life and work of Nicole Brossard, poet, novelist, and essayist, who is widely recognized in her native Quebec and throughout the French-speaking world as one of the greatest writers of her generation.
"Nicole Brossard is one of the outriders of fiction and poetry in North America. With her 'dangerous intensity,' she continually shows us new paths into and out of the forest. As Jennifer Moxley says in her introduction, this book represents 'twenty years of daring'."-Michael Ondaatje
"A renowned French-Canadian poet and essayist, Brossard marries aesthetic daring with political consciousness . . . and creates an almost tactile reading experience."
