Features: émile Nelligan is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and admired poets of French Canadians. He ushered Canadian French poetry into a new era of modern poetry. Nelligan was a poet who inherited the romantic tradition, with an elegant demeanor, melancholic, aloof, and a pair of vivid, expressive eyes, always in a contemplative mood—his appearance clearly reflected the temperament of a poet. His fate was also tragic. Nelligan's poetic career was short, lasting less than three years, but he wrote about 170 poems, including sonnets, rondels, and prose poems—all created during his adolescence between the ages of 16 and 19. émile Nelligan is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and admired poets of French Canadians.
