Chiasson's poems denounced the narrow limitations of the past and traced the lines of a fresh collective vision. The poems were lyrical, referentially modern, and steeped in the rhythms and forms that had emerged from the Americas, Europe, and India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, more than 40 years later, Herménégilde Chiasson is considered to be the father of Acadian modernism, and \u003ci\u003eMourir à Scoudouc\u003c\/i\u003e is widely regarded as one of the foundational works of modern Acadian literature. Several of the poems, including the oft-anthologized long poem, \"Eugénie Melanson,\" have now achieved iconic status, appearing frequently in books, magazines, and films — in French and in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo Live and Die in Scoudouc\u003c\/i\u003e is the first English edition of this seminal collection. It replicates Chiasson's design of the 2017 edition and features his own photographs as well as his new introductory essay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough several of the poems have been previously translated, \u003ci\u003eTo Live and Die in Scoudouc\u003c\/i\u003e features fresh renditions by Jo-Anne Elder, who worked closely with Chiasson on the translations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037609148656,"sku":"9781773100357","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781773100357_p0.jpg?v=1763710669","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781773100357","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
