Poetry from Here | Works by Quebecois Poets

At The Social Eyes, poetry is more than words on a page—it is a lifeline and a channel for expression. Emerging from the streets of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, poetry gives youth a way to transform their experiences, frustrations, and hopes into art that resonates. It allows them to speak their truth, reflect on their realities, and connect with others across communities and continents. True to the mission of The Social Eyes, poetry becomes a living dialogue: a means to empower, to heal, and to amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard, turning personal struggles into shared inspiration and social change.
