The pieces, written between 1944 and 1946, are daring experiments with language. Gauvreau was a member of an avant garde Montreal artistic group who called themselves "Les Automatistes." "Entrails" is Gauvreau's first full book published in English. It includes a biography of the poet and is illustrated with his automatic drawings.The book is part of a series entitled Coach House Quebec Translations. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
