Chantal Ringuet

Chantal Ringuet (born in Quebec City) is a Canadian scholar, award-winning author and translator.

She has contributed to many art exhibition catalogues and translated literary works focusing on the cultural hybridity pervading contemporary artistic practices, and on the intergenerational transmission of trauma in the aftermath of the Second World War and the Holocaust.

[5][6][7] Her second collection of poetry, Under the Skin of War (BuschekBooks, Ottawa, 2014)[8] (written both in French and English), was inspired by the British photojournalist Don McCullin.

[13][14] With Gérard Rabinovitch, she has published Les révolutions de Leonard Cohen (PUQ, 2016), which received a 2017 Canadian Jewish Literary Award.

According to Simone Grossman, professor at the Department of French language and culture at Bar-Ilan University, her poetry illustrates the power of "affiliative postmemory" (Marianne Hirsch) through the relation between image and text.
