| Publisher Description: No other writer of our time and place was so diverse, attempted so much, and never lost sight of his intent.--Michael Ondaatje a book of variations collects three difficult-to-find bpNichol texts--love, zygal, and art facts--which exemplify Nichol's signature eclecticism, a wondrous amalgam of fiction, concrete verse, comics, translations, and collage--this collection of ephemeral work may prove his most lasting contribution to contemporary literature. bpNichol (1944-1988) was one of Canada's most adventurous, entertaining, and enigmatic poets. He is best known for his nine-book poem The Martyrology and his work on the TV show Fraggle Rock. Stephen Voyce is an assistant professor of English at the University of Iowa. |
