Outre le mont
poésie
Zachary Richard began writing poetry in 1968 after a chance encounter with Allen Ginsberg in New Orleans. Influenced by the Beats and particularly by Gary Snyder, Zachary's poetry is rhythmically complex and often logically challenging. The principal themes are enlightenment according to the Zen tradition, the power of nature, and francophone identity in North America.
In 1998, Zachary received the Prix Littéraire Champlain for Faire Récolte (Make Harvest). Feu (Fire) was awarded the Prix Roland Gasparic in Bucharest, Rumania in 2003. Outre le Mont is his fourth collection.
