Meeting between two inspiring women
Hosted by Claudia Larochelle, the meeting Inspired and inspiring will allow Joséphine Bacon and Janette Bertrand to discuss their impressive journey. The first published this year her fourth collection of poems in Innu-aimun and French (Kau minuat – Once again), while the second revisited his autobiography (My life in three acts), first published 20 years ago, to take stock of today’s difficulties. A meeting not to be missed with two remarkable women.
