“Though Gilles Cyr’s work is rooted in the act of seeing, it is not content merely to remain with what is seen; it is not nature poetry, but goes on to encompass the nature of seeing. While nature poetry exploits its material, Gilles Cyr’s expresses wholeness, it makes the necessary connection between what is seen and what is seeing. Ultimately sight manifests itself, at the human level, in speech, and that is where the poetry comes from. Cyr, however, sees it as his job to send us back to where it all began.” — Yann Love-lock.

“ÉtĂ© 1999. GrĂące Ă  la fondation Gabrielle-Roy, je sĂ©journe Ă  Petite- RiviĂšre-Saint-François, en Charlevoix. Peu familier avec l’élĂ©ment liquide, on ne le sait pas assez, je me vois donc en quelque sorte parachutĂ© prĂšs d’un point d’eau. Que faire
 Dur ! Les premiĂšres semaines, rien ne sort de ma plume. Ainsi, le cadre dans lequel on se trouve, les motifs et matĂ©riaux que ce cadre pourra suggĂ©rer, ne seraient pas indiffĂ©rents ? Les affaires sĂ©rieuses vont commencer ! Proposition : tel poĂšme, qui s’écrit aujourd’hui, montre quelque chose qu’à tout autre moment l’écrivain aurait lĂ©gitimement refusĂ© de dire. Lumineux, non ? “— Gilles Cyr
