About

* 16.05.1939, Longueuil, Quebec, Canada
lives in: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Paul Chamberland was born in Longueuil, Quebec in 1939. A poet and essayist, Chamberland received his BA in arts at the Collège St-Laurent in 1961 and a philosophy degree from the University of Montreal in 1964, before going on to study the sociology of literature at the Sorbonne.

From 1968 to 1972, Chamberland was actively involved in the effervescence of what can be called the «new culture» of the times: the Night of Poetry in 1970, in which he participated, was one of the landmarks. Chamberland worked as a writer and cultural activist during that period, with In-Média and the Fabrike d’ékriture. He contributed articles to journals such as Mainmise and Hobo-Québec, but also Liberté, La Barre du jour, Estuaire, Possibles and Forces. He also participated in the Solstice of Quebec Poetry in 1976 and the International Encounter of French-Speaking Writers in Épernay, France in 1975. In 1980, he was part of festivals in La Rochelle and Avignon in the «Seven Words from Quebec» program.

Since 1985, Chamberland has been a professor of literary studies at the University of Quebec at Montreal.
