Georgette LeBlanc
Georgette LeBlanc writes at the confluence of memory, myth, and speech. Born of the tides and languages of Acadia, her voice flows between poetry, prose, song, and the stage, shaping worlds where stories breathe and the body remembers. A transdisciplinary artist with a PhD in Francophone Studies from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, she has focused her research and creative work on the intersections of ethnology and literature. A former Official Poet of the Parliament of Canada, she is the author of numerous award-winning and critically acclaimed books, including Alma, Amédé, Océan (2021 GG Literary Award for Translation) and Petits poèmes sur mon père qui est mort. She currently lives and works in Moncton, New Brunswick. Photo credit: Dolores Breau

Balade littéraire - La poésie prend Moncton
On Saturday, April 25, meet in front of the Aberdeen Cultural Centre to join a literary walk, presented by the Montreal Poetry Festival as part of the “Poetry Takes Over the Parks” project.
As we stroll through the streets of Moncton, we’ll make a few stops where a total of six local poets will read poems to you in French and English.
The Poésie prend les parcs project aims to create 25 outdoor poetry events in various cities across Quebec and Canada, in collaboration with cultural and community organizations and local artists. The initiative seeks to bring poetry into public spaces and promote it across Canada. We thank the Canada Council for the Arts for its support.
