André Roy, Montreal, Les espions de Dieu.
(Les Herbes rouges; distributed by Diffusion Dimédia) (ISBN 978-2-89419-282-5)

Les espions de Dieu – the spies of God – remind the living that the poet is a mortal gifted with heightened lucidity. André Roy looks with compassion on the lives of the men and women who have given their name to poetry. A book of pagan prayers, this collection renews with the fate of these martyrs.
