He has published several books of poetry whose La chute fut lente, interminable puis terminée at Editions La Peuplade, which was nominated for the Alain-Grandbois prize of the Academy of Letters of Quebec in 2009.

Mélanie and Revelations, appeared in 2013 and 2016 to the editions of Hexagon. In 2000, he co-founded Rhizome in Quebec City, an organization whose mandate is to produce literary shows and whose artistic direction he is now responsible for.
