Pierrette Requier, a bilingual Alberta poet, playwright, performer, producer and mentor, has been involved at all levels of the Alberta literary scene for over 20 years. She has served as a liaison-poète, initiating and hosting events that create connections between the English and French artistic communities. As writer Pierrette Requiersees an attractive risk in being a poet and encourages all voices and all languages to emerge and be heard thus creating new forms of sonorities.
She believes that “Language is alive and constantly evolving, is a shifting texture, and that writing poetry is at once terror and playfulness; it is jumping into a void and at the same time, immersing one’s self into the now of play, of hanging out with words long enough to watch the magic of an image arise out of nothing.”
Pierrette Requier croit qu’« Avoir » sa propre langue est chose aussi essentielle à la survie de l’être de l’humain(e) que la terre qui nous soutient et nous nourrit. Puisque la langue est toujours en émergence, elle se prête à la créativité, à l’invention de nouvelles formes.
