Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau
Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau was a Canadian poet, writer, letter writer, and essayist, who "was posthumously hailed as a herald of the Quebec literary renaissance of the 1950s". He is mainly recognized for his literary work – in particular, for the only book published during his lifetime, entitled Regards et Jeux dans l'espace, published in 1937 – but he was also a painter. Almost all of his writings are published, without cuts, between 1970 and 2020.
