Gaston Miron

Gaston Miron was an important Canadian poet, writer, and editor of Quebec's Quiet Revolution. His classic L'homme rapaillé has sold over 100,000 copies and is one of the most widely read texts of the Quebecois literary canon. Committed to his people's separation from Canada and to the establishment of an independent French-speaking nation in North America, Gaston Miron remains the most important literary figure of Quebec's nationalist movement.
