Sara Dignard is deeply attached to the lanes of her childhood in the Villeray neighborhood. So, following an exile in the Magdalen Islands, the Gaspé and Bic National Park, and after earning an M.A. in creative writing, she returned to Montreal and currently works as a popular literacy trainer. Her first collection, Le cours normal des choses, won the Prix Jovette-Bernier in 2018 and, that same year, she also edited the collective Ce qui existe entre nous, both published by Éditions du passage. She is currently working on her second collection of poetry. Photo: Nicolas Longpré
