Gérald Leblanc
Gérald Leblanc (1955–2005) was an Acadian poet born in Bouctouche, New Brunswick. A leading figure in contemporary Acadian literature, he was a prolific author who published numerous collections of poetry, novels, and critical texts. His writing (often shaped by urban life, popular culture, and a strong drive for identity-based emancipation) helped to modernize the Acadian poetic voice.
Based for many years in Moncton, he played an active role in the city’s cultural effervescence alongside other artists and writers, particularly through the publishing house Perce-Neige and the collective Les Éditions d’Acadie.

Influenced by the Beat Generation, his work is one of the distinctive voices of contemporary Acadian poetry. His collection Socialite was published by Éditions Perce-Neige in 2024.
