The organizers of Poetik Bazar would like to thank all their Quebec partners for their support: the Quebec Delegation in Brussels, the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, the Canada Council for the Arts, Lojiq, Québéc Edition and Tulitu.

Thanks to their involvement, we can continue to share with you poetry straight from Quebec.

Our speakers

Helene Frederick C DR

Hélène Frédérick

Hélène Frédérick, born in Quebec in 1976, has been living in Paris for about fifteen years. She works as an editor, reviser, and writer of novels and poetry. Her novels include La Poupée de Kokoschka (2010), Forêt contraire (2014), and La Nuit sauve (2019). Her poetry collections with L’Oie de Cravan are Plans sauvages (2016), Une grande maison, cette nuit, avec beaucoup de temps pour discuter (2021), and Charleston 1974 (2023).
Dolce Saint Arnold c Ariane Labreche

Dolce Saint-Arnold

Dolce Saint-Arnold is an art hoe from the 514 and a multidisciplinary artist. Multidisciplinary not in the sense of mastering several disciplines, but rather like those shops on Plaza Saint-Hubert that sell everything, double as a hair salon and cybercafé, and display "we buy gold" in the window. YUL-Saturne is their first book.
Melissa Labonte c Alexandre Roy Gilbert

Mélissa Labonté

Originally from Saint-Henri-de-Lévis, Mélissa Labonté is a writer and editor based in Montreal. She holds a master's degree in literary studies from UQAM, with a thesis on the poetry of the militant magazine Fermaille, leading to the publication of Faire maille (L’instant même, 2017) and contributions to Enjeux du contemporain en poésie au Québec (PUM, 2022, winner of the Gabrielle-Roy Prize). She currently heads the Bibliothèque québécoise publishing house and co-directs the literary section of Le Noroît with Charlotte Francoeur.
Gauthier Landry Kristina c DR

Kristina Gauthier-Landry

Kristina Gauthier-Landry, born in 1985 in Natashquan and again in 2004 in Montreal, is a poet and writer. Her debut poetry collection "Et arrivées au bout nous prendrons racine" (2020) won the 2021 Myriam-Caron Prize. Her first book for young readers, "Kaléidoscope mon cœur," was published by Boréal.
