Originally from the Saint-Sauveur district of Quebec City,[1] he was educated at Université Laval and the Université du Québec à Montréal.[1]
The author of numerous books of poetry and literary criticism, he won the Governor General's Award for French-language poetry at the 2008 Governor General's Awards for his collection La lenteur du monde.[2] An English translation, Eternity Taking Its Time, was published by Bookland Press in 2012.
He won Quebec's Prix Alphonse-Piché, Prix Octave-Crémazie and Prix Félix-Antoine-Savard for earlier collections.[3] In 1997, the Commission de toponymie du Québec named an unnamed island in the province's Caniapiscau Reservoir for his collection La traversée de la nuit, as part of a program honouring writers to mark the 20th anniversary of the Charter of the French Language.[1]
His most recent collection, Ciel de la basse-ville, was published in 2014.[4]
