Winner, Governor General's Award for Poetry

Shortlisted, Governor General's Award for Translation

An elegant testimony to the beautiful and the good, Serge Patrice Thibodeau's One pays homage to the vibrancy and vigor of life, backdropped against the precarious immediacy of the everyday.

From the tiny trunk of opening lines taken from Paul Val ry, Thibodeau unpacks a vision of human consciousness that exists in a state of singular wonder, creating a universe that is at once faithful and ever-changing like the tidal bore -- the landscape of mascaret. Thibodeau boldly blends anecdotes, pop-ups, leitmotifs, ecological awareness, and the inner world in variations on the theme of wholeness.

Contributor Bio(s): Thibodeau, Serge Patrice: -

Serge Patrice Thibodeau is the author of a dozen collections of poetry, including Le quatuor de l'errance and Seul on Est, both of which won the Governor General's Award for poetry. He has also written numerous essays and, in 2004, an oratorio with composer Pierre Michaud entitled Odyss?a, which commemorated the 400th anniversary of the founding of Acadie.

In addition to his two Governor General's Awards, Thibodeau has received numerous other honours, including the Prix France-Acadie in 1991, the Prix Edgar-Lesp?rance in 1994 and the Grand Prix du Festival international de la po?sie de Trois-Rivi?res. He has also received the prestigious Prix ?mile-Nelligan, the only Acadian to ever receive this award.

Thibodeau is the editorial director of ?ditions Perce Neige in Moncton, NB. His poems have been translated into fourteen languages.
