Gaston Miron OQ (French pronunciation: [ɡastɔ̃ miˈʁɔ̃]; 8 January 1928 – 14 December 1996) was an important Canadian poet, writer, and editor of Quebec's Quiet Revolution. His classic L'homme rapaillé (partly translated as The March to Love: Selected Poems of Gaston Miron, whose title echoes his celebrated poem La marche à l'amour) has sold over 100,000 copies and is one of the most widely read texts of the Quebecois literary canon. Committed to his people's separation from Canada and to the establishment of an independent French-speaking nation in North America, Gaston Miron remains the most important literary figure of Quebec's nationalist movement.
