Trois-Rivières is now recognized as a place where poetry thrives in the quotidian, not only in the eyes of poets, but especially in the eyes of the multitudes of Canadians and Europeans who attend the annual international poetry festival as well as the other public that comes periodically throughout the year to read the poems adorning the walls of the city. In 22 years, the Trois Rivières International Festival of Poetry, led by Gaston Bellemare and Maryse Baribeau, has become, not only a dream-come-true, but a veritable literary Happening.
