One

Written over a twenty-month period, this book of poetry is an elegant testimony to the beautiful and the good. Serge Patrice Thibodeau's One pays homage to the vibrancy and vigor of the natural world and the precarious immediacy of the everyday.

About the author

Serge Patrice Thibodeau is the author of a dozen collections of poetry, including Le quatuor de l'errance and Seul on Est, both of which won the Governor General's Award for poetry.
