Artisanal poetry: Michel Godin des Mers: A Québec poet with his own approach

French with no subtitles:  Billed as an "artisanal poete", by videaste Cedric Barbier, Québec culture celebrates Michel Godin des Mers at his stand in a parkette of a traffic circle.  Two of his sign-poems read in English "Women of the World -- Make Love"  and "Religions!!.Schism[atic]".  I loved the man's animated oral discourse:  how does he maintain his enthusiasm, after all these years?

Also take a gander at Barbier's video EoS - Diner Abscons.  The dinner devolves into a scene of mayhem, echoing the bums' feast like a Lord's Supper that devolves into a frenzy in Louis Bunuel's Veridiana.
