Vanessa Bell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poet, performer, artist, curator, and literary activist, Vanessa Bell is also director of the poetry collection at \u00c9ditions du Quartz. Her literary arts practice has taken her work to the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Australia. She is the author of the collections\u00a0De rivi\u00e8res<\/em>\u00a0(2019, La Peuplade) and\u00a0MONUMENTS<\/em>\u00a0(2022, Le Noro\u00eet), the book\u00a0Fendre les eaux<\/em>\u00a0(2023, De l\u2019Homme) and co-director of the\u00a0Anthologie de la po\u00e9sie actuelle des femmes au Qu\u00e9bec 2000 | 2020<\/em>\u00a0(2021, Remue-m\u00e9nage). Her writing is vivid and sharp, a whirlwind of audacity whose central themes are sisterhood, filiation, and real and fantasized territories. She has won several grants and awards, including the Prix F\u00e9lix-Antoine-Savard (2021, FIPTR), and was a finalist for the Prix de l\u2019Institut canadien de Qu\u00e9bec (2021) and the Prix du CALQ \u2013 Artiste de l\u2019ann\u00e9e en Capitale-Nationale (2023).
