Nicole Brossard was born in Montreal in 1943. Poet, novelist and essayist, she has published more than 20 books since 1965. By her ludic, subversive and innovative work, Brossard has influenced a whole generation on the questions of post-modernist and feminist writing. She was twice awarded Canada’s most prestigious prize, the Governor General’s Award for poetry, in 1974 and in 1984, and in 1991 she was awarded Le Prix Athanase-David (the highest literary recognition in Quebec literature).
Typhon Dru consists of two sequences previously published only in limited artist’s book editions. They have been newly translated from the French for this, Nicole Brossard’s first UK book, by Caroline Bergvall, a poet and a performance writer whose work, like Brossard’s, has previously appeared in Out of Everywhere.
