Chloé LaDuchesse

Chloé LaDuchesse is a Canadian poet from Sudbury, Ontario,[1] whose collection Exosquelette was a shortlisted finalist for the Governor General's Award for French-language poetry at the 2021 Governor General's Awards.[2]

LaDuchesse published her first collection, Furies, in 2017.[3] She served as the poet laureate of the City of Greater Sudbury from 2018 to 2020, although her time in the position was marked by a minor controversy when the city rescinded its invitation for her to read the poem she had written for the inauguration ceremony for the new Greater Sudbury City Council following the 2018 Greater Sudbury municipal election.[4]
