From being someone who has faced a lot of heartache and heartbreak.

Le poème n'était pas pour Jacques Brault une question rhétorique ou seulement esthétique : il était indissociable de la vie, saisie dans tous ses aspects, les plus humbles, les plus quotidiens, comme les plus mystérieux. Ni vers ni prose, la poésie passait outre ces limites et circulait aussi librement dans ses essais o surgissaient ses « épiphanies pourvoyeuses de petite éternité ».
