Marie Uguay (April 22, 1955 – October 26, 1981) was a French Canadian poet from the province of Quebec.
[1][2] She was named 'Marie Lalonde at birth but eventually took her maternal grandfather's surname in his honor.
Soon she began writing poetry, appreciating how full of life a text could become through poetic verses.
Uguay's poetry is marked by her reflections on Québec separatism, the feminist movement, and on her illness.
The critic Ben Libman has compared Uguay's prodigious brilliance to that of John Keats and Jules Laforgue.
