This paper offers a reading of Gérald Leblanc’s poetic works based on Marshall MacLuhan’s concept of the global village. From Leblanc’s invented city to the global village, uncovered through his daily strolls around the streets of Moncton and his meditations in the spaces of his everyday life, the polyphonic elements found in his poems are linked primarily to the North American media space. Moncton ceases to be a purely urban area and is transformed into a concrete reality, a display of familiar scenes and faces. By conflating artistic practices found in the counterculture, Leblanc’s work is symptomatic of post-modernism, which has greatly modified the writer’s position in the cultural domain from this perspective; his work can be re-interpreted as the expression of the foundation of a gigantic cybermachine that fuels music voices and visual images.
