Pierre Nepveu is unique among French Quebec poets for having forged a voice at once unadorned, sensuous and adventurous.
His new collection, The Major Verbs ,is a masterwork consisting of three sequences: one focussing on an immigrant night cleaner glimpsed on a subway, another, a riff on a group of stones on a table, and the third concerning the poet’s parents and their deaths.
The book closes with a long meditative poem written in the American southwest. The Major Verbs (under its original title, Les Verbes Majeur ) was nominated for a Governor-General’s Award for Poetry in 2010. Nepveu’s poetry collection, Mirabel won the 2003 Governor General Award for its original French-language edition and the 2004
Governor General Award for Translation (Judith Cowan,
translator, Signal Editions).
