Résumé L’écriture anglo-québécoise a longtemps semblé isolée, tant du Québec de langue française que du Canada anglais. L’auteure propose ici une lecture d’oeuvres de Robyn Sarah, de Mary di Michele et d’Erin Mouré, qui cherchent à éviter un tel repli et qui s’engagent sur une scène globale imbriquée dans le local. Dans ces poèmes, le monde est filtré par des contiguïtés culturelles et religieuses de quartiers spécifiques, des histoires de migration dont certains noms de lieux portent la trace, et du mouvement entre le français, l’anglais et les autres langues de Montréal. Les différences entre les poétiques de ces auteures empêchent toutefois de considérer l’écriture anglo-québécoise comme une catégorie entièrement cohérente.

The article addresses the theme of nostos by referring to the journeys of three authors of Italian heritage: Pier Giorgio Di Cicco, Mary di Michele, and Gianna Patriarca. Their poetry allows the possibility to revisit their journeys and to consider migration as a source of knowledge, and positive change, despite the many challenges involved in the mutation process, and the difficult hermeneutic of losses, necessary to reach awareness and a new sense of belonging.

Many Italian-Canadian authors have been stimulated to explore their dual identity after a return trip to Italy. They confront the myth of nostalgia as an emotional blind-spot to the harsh realities of past miseria and present-day conflicts in Italian society. Women writers such as Mary di Michele, Caterina Edwards, Licia Canton and Rina Cralli are particularly critical of the position of women in Italy and the whole nostalgia sentimentality promoted by Italian popular culture and music. Pasquale Verdicchio’s whole writing career has been a systematic rejection of the thematics of nostalgia.
