Thursday, the Literary Prize Fetkann! Maryse Condé 2016 poetry category, was awarded to the Haitian doctor, poet and essayist Joël Des Rosiers for his latest collection of poetry "Chaux" published in 2015 at Éditions Triptyque (Montréal).

His poetry, full of mysteries and sacrifices, is at the same time worked by extreme tensions that mingle strangely with an apparently clinical erudition in which the melancholy of the flesh is offered to mourning, religious and sensual ceremony.
