En decembre 1972, le premier ouvrage des Editions d Acadie est
lance, un tout petit recueil d un animateur communautaire
gauchiste: Cri de terre de Raymond Guy LeBlanc. Aujourd hui, le
milieu litteraire acadien identifie cette publication avec l
emergence de la modernite en Acadie. Et l annee 1972 comme l annee
culturelle de reference. Pourquoi ? Pourquoi cette manifestation -
une publication - a-t-elle ete si porteuse, bien au-dela de l
ouvrage lui-meme ? A force de creuser cette question, David
Lonergan s est apercu que plusieurs poemes de Cri de terre avaient
ete publies en aout 1969 dans la revue Liberte a l occasion d un -
special - Acadie. Que 1969 avait egalement ete marquee par la
derniere vague de manifestations etudiantes commencees l annee
precedente, ce dont temoigne le film L Acadie, l Acadie de Michel
Brault et Pierre Perrault. Qu en 1972, Raymond LeBlanc est un
pianiste qui accompagne les chansonniers, Hermenegilde Chiasson est
un artiste visuel qui ecrit de la poesie, Leonard Forest, un
cineaste et poete, que Jacques Savoie compose aussi bien des poemes
que des chansons... David Lonergan demontre, dans Acadie 72,
comment la naissance des Editions d Acadie marque l aboutissement d
une suite d evenements, d un ensemble de demarches commencees
plusieurs annees auparavant et qui convergent vers ce point unique.
Chaque evenement est ici presente dans son contexte et en lien avec
ce qui a precede."
