Mémoire

Jacques Brault (29 March 1933 – 20 October 2022) was a French Canadian poet and translator who lived in Cowansville, Quebec, Canada. He was born to a poor family, but received an excellent education at the Université de Montréal and at the Sorbonne in Paris. He became a professor at the Université de Montréal, in the Département d'études françaises and the Institut des sciences médiévales, and made frequent appearances as a cultural commentator on Radio-Canada.

Jacques Brault's writings include plays, novels and works of short fiction, translations and several works of Canadian literary criticism. However, it is primarily for his work as a poet that Jacques Brault is known outside of Canada.[1]

Brault died on 20 October 2022, at the age of 89.[2]
