Blind Painting

Born in Montreal in 1947, Robert Melançon studied at the Université de Montréal and in Tours where he wrote his doctorate on French baroque poetry. He has published three books of poems: Inscriptions [1987], Peinture aveugle which won the Governor General’s Award in 1979, and Territoire [1981]. This book is based on a revised version of Peinture aveugle.
