Chiasson's poems denounced the narrow limitations of the past and traced the lines of a fresh collective vision. The poems were lyrical, referentially modern, and steeped in the rhythms and forms that had emerged from the Americas, Europe, and India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, more than 40 years later, Herménégilde Chiasson is considered to be the father of Acadian modernism, and \u003ci\u003eMourir à Scoudouc\u003c\/i\u003e is widely regarded as one of the foundational works of modern Acadian literature. Several of the poems, including the oft-anthologized long poem, \"Eugénie Melanson,\" have now achieved iconic status, appearing frequently in books, magazines, and films -- in French and in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo Live and Die in Scoudouc\u003c\/i\u003e is the first English edition of this seminal collection.
