She has also completed a postdoctoral research about Yiddish literature in Montreal at the University of Ottawa (2008) and a Master's degree in International management at l'ÉNAP. Her first poetry book, Le sang des ruines (Écrits des Hautes-terres, Gatineau, 2010), was awarded the prix littéraire Jacques-Poirier in 2009.[1][2][3] Her second collection of poetry, Under the Skin of War (BuschekBooks, Ottawa, 2014),[4] which is written both in French and English, was inspired by the British photojournalist Don McCullin.[5][6] Ringuet is also the author of À la découverte du Montréal yiddish (Éditions Fides, 2011)[7][8] and she edited the first anthology of Canadian Yiddish literature in French translation, Voix yiddish de Montréal (Moebius, no 139, Montreal, 2013).[9][10] With Gérard Rabinovitch, she has published Les révolutions de Leonard Cohen (PUQ, 2016), which received a 2017 Canadian Jewish Literary Award.[11] With Pierre Anctil, she has published a translation of the early biography of Marc Chagall (Mon univers. Autobiographie, Fides, 2017). From 2015-2017, she has been a fellow of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York,[12] scholar-in-residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute (Brandeis University) and writer-in-residence and literary translator[13] in residence at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. She has participated in many literary events, including the Toronto Jewish Literary Festival, KlezKanada, the Blue Metropolis and the Massachusetts Poetry Festival.
