Avant Desire

Nicole Brossard won the 2019 Lifetime Recognition Award from the Griffin Poetry Trust, placing her among such illustrious company as Seamus Heaney, Adrienne Rich, and Tomas Tranströmer. This isn’t a regular anthology but instead a carefully shaped curation of Brossard’s work alongside interviews, lectures, ephemera, and other documents that illuminate both her writings and their context within the last half-century of feminist work.
