History
In Flander's Field
In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row, / That mark our place; and in the sky / The larks, still bravely singing, fly / Scarce heard amid the guns below.

History
Tom Konyves: Sympathies of War
In 1978, I coined the term "videopoem" to describe a new medium for a new poetry. Experiments in video-poems to that date (that I was aware of) were performance-oriented, like the work of Toronto experimental poet Steve McCaffery, who sat on a park bench and held up signs or sat at a typewriter which spewed forth a Kerouacian endless paper roll. This new medium of video permitted me to question the a priori role of the poet.

History
Richard King: Remembrance of QSPELL Past:
The 1980s were an interesting time in the long history of English culture in Québec. Jonathan Penney and I opened an English-language bookstore in the heart of downtown Montreal and made it into the first bookstore café in Canada—probably one of the first ones in North America. The exodus of English people from Québec, mainly from Montreal, did not dissuade us. In fact, we thought that the exodus would, in a strange way, help us.

History
Abram's Plains
Thomas Cary wrote one of the earliest poems in English in Quebec. This 14-page poem is a poetic tribute to the farmer’s field where two colonial powers met in battle. Cary, being a loyal Englishman, celebrated the victory; however, the poem is more interesting for its “odefication” of the Plains and description of the different regions of Quebec.
