Brossard is widely recognized in her native Québec and throughout the French-speaking world as one of the greatest writers of her generation. Her poetry is rooted in her investigations of language, her abiding commitment to a feminist consciousness, and her capacity for renewing meaning as a virtual space of desire. Her work has been translated into several languages.
