How can poems not only make the ephemeral a theme and motif, but also create it? In poems by Rosalie Lessard, Francois Rioux and Maggie Roussel, fleetingness characterises the attitude to life in a fast-moving, globalized, digitalised world. It is shown that a special reference to the performative, the performance and the ephemeral makes contemporary poetry in Quebec a phenomenon of its own.
