Jacques Ferron, Quebecois writer famous for his incisive and polemic style, has created his literary works with numerous genres of great diversity. Although the author has never published any poetic works, the manuscripts found at the National Library of Quebec demonstrate all the interest Ferron had for the poetic genre. In fact, the Jacques-Ferron Archives contain over fifty poetic texts, which are being edited for this study. The first part, which presents Ferron's unpublished poems, also exposes the editorial principles that guided the task of transcribing the manuscripts. In the second part of this study, I reflect upon the idea of "conscience generique " (generic conscience), priorly established by Michal Glowinski. Once having demonstrated that Jacques Ferron used his poetic material to write some of his tales or plays, I build upon the hypothesis that his profound knowledge of poetry reading and writing modes influences him to change his literary approach to this genre.
