Georgette LeBlanc writes at the confluence of memory, myth, and speech. Born of the tides and languages of Acadia, her voice flows between poetry, prose, song, and the stage, shaping worlds where stories breathe and the body remembers. A transdisciplinary artist with a PhD in Francophone Studies from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, she has focused her research and creative work on the intersections of ethnology and literature. A former Official Poet of the Parliament of Canada, she is the author of numerous award-winning and critically acclaimed books, including Alma, Amédé, Océan (2021 GG Literary Award for Translation) and Petits poèmes sur mon père qui est mort. She currently lives and works in Moncton, New Brunswick.
