About

Estuaire is North America's oldest French-language poetry journal, and one of Quebec's first creative journals. Founded in 1976, its mission is to foster creation, innovation, reflection and research in Quebec poetry. Estuaire fosters the emergence of new voices and provides a forum for the expression of established poets. Artistic quality and textual originality are the primary interests of the editorial board. This is followed by a strong desire to publish and showcase little-heard and little-read voices, in order to contribute to a better diversification and continual renewal of Quebec's poetic landscape.

The journal's “Traductions” section introduces French-speaking readers to poetic voices from around the world. The “Critiques” section presents in-depth reviews of poetry published in Quebec. For even more poetic exploration, the journal opens its pages to a poet-in-residence, whose work is featured in the “Planches” section.
