description: Finalist for the 1996 Governor General's Award for Translation. Winner Governor General's Award for Poetry (French). "For Orchestra and Solo Poet" is a solemn and lovely music lesson. Emile Martel's poetic composition is a rich and thoughtful meditation on the art of creation, and its creator's touch is deft and sure. In a language that is generous and true, the solitary poet of the land and the sea observes the islands whence comes the encompassing music he sings.
