Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec - Au fil des motsThis digital collections culminates a project aimed at documenting contemporary quebequois poets.
Collection Properties
Each 25-minute video captures the poets in their own words as they describe how they go about their creative work, and especially how their works reflect and draw from the culture of Quebec. Some also read exerpts or full poems.
Object Characteristics
The videos are in Realplayer and Windows Media Player format. There are two resolutions available, Low (320x240) for slow connections, and High (640x480) for faster connections. An audio-only version in .asx format is also available.
Metadata
There is very limited metada, only the name and birthdate of the poet. There is a link, however, to works by the author available in the BAnQ via the IRIS catalogue.
Intended Audience
The style is meant to be casual and non-intimidating, ostensibly to appeal to those who might not neccessarily be interested or aware of poetry books or formal readings. Broadly, it appeals to those interested in quebecquois literature and culture.
