le poète Gaston Miron, tant il a épousé le destin incertain du Québec. Mais rien n'est plus éloigné de sa poésie que la notion de régionalisme ou d'exotisme. Ce poète a su, à partir de ses héritages, se nourrir des grands espaces et s'ouvrir à l'universel. Intellectuel engagé, il a dénoncé la situation d'aliénation linguistique, culturelle, des Canadiens français, et défendu avec passion l'existence de la langue française en terre nord-américaine. En tant qu'éditeur et cofondateur de l'Hexagone, il a travaillé à l'épanouissement de la poésie québécoise contemporaine et à la reconnaissance d'une littérature autonome, mais son engagement poétique a été incontestablement sa plus grande passion. L'Homme rapaillé, son oeuvre unique sans cesse reprise, reconfigurée, retrace la marche forcenée d'un poète en quête de son unité, un poète qui se dit empêché d'écrire et qui s'invente tel un naufragé dans sa langue". -- 4e de couvThe better angel: Walt Whitman in the Civil War
