Poetry at the Bistro le Ste-Cath

Our favourite poet Sylvain Turner, author of In extremis, available on Éditions TNT, was a finalist for the prestigious “Prix d’excellence poésie” (Poetry Excellence Prize), awarded by the cultural website Lametropole.com.

At the end of the day, poet and translator Francis Catallano (left) won first place for his collection Climax, published by Éditions Mains libre edited by Stéphane Despatie (right). The prize of excellence was awarded during a poetry reading at the Bistro le Ste-Cath (under new administration and much improved) on Thursday, May 11, among a gathering of intellectuals and poetry lovers. Good food, some libations and excellent poetry readings!
