	Gauvreau, Claude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Gauvreau, the son of Major Lucien Gauvreau and Julienne Saint-Mars, was raised by his mother, who belonged to a liberal minded family.
		His brother, Pierre GAUVREAU, who was an actor with the Montreal Repertory Theatre of Mario Duliani, a dancer with Gerald Crevier's company and a student at the École des Beaux-Arts, had become a disciple of the painter Paul-Émile BORDUAS in 1941.
		Claude joined them in 1942: his main contribution was as a writer, first (by 1944) as a playwright and poet and then (by 1945) as a critic.

	Gauvreau, Pierre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Like them, Gauvreau and his poet brother (Claude GAUVREAU) became interested in the surrealist idea of automatism as a way of releasing creativity.
		Gauvreau remained associated with this circle, and became part of the group known as the AUTOMATISTES, who with others produced the 1948 manifesto REFUS GLOBAL.
		By the mid-1950s, Gauvreau was using looser, more gestural imagery in his work, and was also working for the new medium of TV as a writer, director and producer.

	ArtsAlive.ca - Théâtre français : Seeing French Theatre in Canada
		Claude Gauvreau often referred to himself as a revolutionary poet, a distinction confirmed by the unique place he holds on the Quebec literary landscape.
		Gauvreau has been labelled a “damned poet” – an image often found in his theatre – because of the strong resistance to his innovative work expressed by a certain segment of the public combined with a life plagued by bouts of depression interspersed with periods of psychiatric confinement.
		Gauvreau took his own life in 1971, leaving behind a considerable body of work encompassing poetry, radio, and drama, which is still being discovered today.

		Although the temptation for the feminist critic may be to ignore this ultimately misogynist rendering of her life, it is impossible to ignore the fact that Gauvreau's work is a 'roman à clef,' and that it fills in a number of gaps in the chronology of Guilbault's life and career as available from other sources.
		Gauvreau's description of the agonizing evenings when he would walk with her to the theatre and she would tremble before the ten stairs she had to mount before entering the studio read like an extract from a manual on women and depression:
		For the underlying cause of the female character's depression, the obsessive reality which Gauvreau portrays her as unable to forget or overcome, is an unwanted abortion which takes place at the height of her career and before her marriage, and her subsequent guilt and inability to conceive another child.

	U B U W E B :: Steve McCaffery "Sound Poetry - A Survey"
		Gauvreau, working in the 40s, made structural modifications to French Surrealist ideas, especially the diminishment of pictorial image in favour of what he terms 'rhythmic images'.
		Gauvreau's work, which bears comparison to Artaud and the Dadaists, is theoretically hermetic - a non-semantic language of pure sound which, however, never dominates in any one text.
		Gauvreau's influence, however, has never extended outside Quebec (his work, for instance, was a seminal influence of Raoul Duguay) and Anglophone sound poetry does not surface until the early sixties in the work of bpNichol and Bill Bissett.

	Festival de théâtre des amériques
		With eleven actors, a team of designers and a 20-voice choir, Lorraine Pintal is turning Louis- H. Lafontaine Hospital into a theatre stage in order to examine the various facets of Asile de la pureté, a play written in 1953 by poet Claude Gauvreau.
		A poet, playwright and polemicist, Claude Gauvreau left behind an extensive legacy that occupies a prominent place in Quebec literature.
		By presenting for three evenings a staged reading of the play in a non-theatrical space, the director and her team are expanding the possibilities of intervention.

	JACQUES CRÊTE AND THE ATELIER DE RECHERCHE THÉÂTRALE L'ESKABEL: À REBOURS ON THE
		First of all, it echoed the Quebec avant-garde experiments of the 1950s characterized by the "Automatiste" movement, a form of Surrealism which cultivated the anti-rational process of "écriture automatique" by calling up the "pulsion créatrice," the creative spark, the pure impulse of spontaneous kinetic creative energy.
		(Gauvreau 20-37) In addition, the Eskabel reflected the already-mentioned ritual-theatre movement of the 1960s, which sought to renew theatrical convention through non-secular traditions.
		The contact with Gauvreau had a profound influence on Crête, who came to understand that theatre was a creative process that could somehow alter the lives of the participants.

		The manifesto was comprised of three texts by Borduas (Refus global, En regard du surréalisme actual, and Commentaires sur les mots courants), as well as additional texts by Claude Gauvreau, Françoise Sullivan, Bruno Cormier, and Fernand Leduc.
		Paul-émile Borduas had sought to adapt the techniques of writing to his painting, and soon this concept came full circle, as a new generation of poets began to adapt the introspective concepts of nonfigurative painting to their writing.
		This movement in poetry is represented by Claude Gauvreau, who was also a contributor to Refus global, Gilles Hénault, Paul-Marie Lapointe, and Roland Giguère.

		One evening in the spring of 1949, at the start of Paterson's second year at the museum school, he and his girlfriend attended a lecture given by Claude Gauvreau at a leftist cultural club.
		Gauvreau was a brilliant French-Canadian poet and thinker who had become one of the earliest and most ardent champions of the group of avant-garde Quebec artists known as the Automatistes.
		The only daughter of John Sullivan, a French-speaking lawyer and former Conservative MP, she had taken dance lessons at the age of nine, then studied painting at Montreal's Ecole des Beaux-Arts when she was only sixteen years old.

	Riding the Meridian: Carnivocal - a review by Alaric Sumner
		It would not of course be possible to provide everything necessary to place 'contemporary sound poetry in Canada' in context on a CD, yet it would have been interesting to have had more historical examples and 'ethnic' Canadian examples.
		Certainly, the definition of 'sound poetry' is predominantly one from an English heritage (even the Gauvreau is presented in the voice of an Englishman) - and other poetries in sound exist within the borders of Canada.
		For a survey such as this, it would have been useful to provide this wider context, the informational arena, in which to place, appreciate and analyse the works presented.

		Spoken word is laid-back literature, grooving to its own beat, shrugging off the immortality of print.
		Rooted in aboriginal and fl culture and the beat poetry of the 1960s, the movement's Quebec evolution could be connected to poets like Claude Gauvreau, monologuists like Clemence DesRochers and Yvon Deschamps, or even folky chanteuse La Bolduc.
		But its modern Quebec manifestations became visible about 10 years ago, Kimm estimates.
