Paul Legault (p-O-l LUH-goh; born June 25, 1985) is a Canadian American poet.

Life

Legault was born in Ontario and raised in Tennessee.[1] He graduated from the University of Southern California, where he obtained a BFA in screenwriting and the University of Virginia, where he earned an MFA in creative writing.[2]

He is a co-founder of the translation press Telephone Books.[3] Since 2010, his output has taken on characteristics similar to Kenneth Koch works such as One Thousand Avant-Garde Plays, with absurdist miniature dialogues between animate, inanimate, or abstract characters. In 2012, he released terse English-to-English translations of Emily Dickinson's poetry.

His writing has been published in The Awl, Boston Review, Denver Quarterly,[4] Field, Pleiades and other journals.

He lives in Brooklyn, New York,[5] and serves as a writer-in-residence at Washington University in St. Louis.
