Poetry and the Landscape of Epiphany

Poulin, A., Jr.

Short autobiographical essay on the elements of cultural heritage evident in the author's family history and youth; the persistence of a French Canadian "communal sensuous self," the impact of one's environments, and recognizing one's heritage beneath evolving shapes of assimilation in America. Includes a translation of Anne Hébert's "Castle Life." Republished in "The Maine Reader: The Down East Experience from 1614 to the Present," with a brief introduction to Maine Franco American history, local photographs, and the poem, "To My Brother."
