Reviews

Praise for Montreal Before Spring "Rich and deceptively simple... one of Quebec's major poets."--Globe & Mail "Melancon deftly links seasons, the city space and their relation to age with his effortless metaphors ... A thread of romanticism throbs beneath [his] poetry, [which] is intoxicated, fascinated with experiencing the surrounding world."--New York Daily News "There is a great tenderness in these poems...Melancon sees the big and the small and treats them with equal respect and curiosity...Donald McGrath's translation is invisible, seamless."--Michael Dennis, poet
