A small book of French-language poetry by celebrated poet Jean Charlebois. At the time Charlebois had recently graduated from the University of Montréal and was a freelance writer. He wrote advertising copy for the James Bay Development Corporation and would shortly after become editor for the National Film Board of Canada and Radio-Québec.

 

This was his second book, his first being ‘Poèmes Absolument Circonstances Incontrôlables’ in 1972. Throughout the 1970s Charelebois became the star of publisher Éditions du Noroît’s output. The title translates as Goat’s Head, which carries Satanic allusions (“The Sigil of Baphomet” is the classic inverted pentagram featuring a goat’s head). The cover design hints at this but has a more tender interpretation. Not a lot else is known about the cover design.
