<p><b>Winner, Governor General’s Award for Poetry</b></p><p><b>Shortlisted, Governor General’s Award for Translation</b></p><p>An elegant testimony to the beautiful and the good, Serge Patrice Thibodeau’s <i>One</i> pays homage to the vibrancy and vigor of life, backdropped against the precarious immediacy of the everyday.</p> <p>From the tiny trunk of opening lines taken from Paul Val&#233;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 &#8212; the landscape of mascaret. Thibodeau boldly blends anecdotes, pop-ups, leitmotifs, ecological awareness, and the inner world in variations on the theme of wholeness.</p>
