Poetry. Edited by Stephen Cain. While bpNichol (1944-1988) has
attained iconic status in Canadian literature in recent years,
particularly through his lifelong poem THE MARTYROLOGY, and his
work in visual and sound poetry, there are numerous early
"fugitive" sequences that are often referred to in critical
studies, but are long out of print and only available in library
special collections or in the hands of rare book collectors. BP:
BEGINNINGS brings together these pre-Martyrology materials in one
comprehensive collection, including such key texts as Nichol's
first chapbooks Beach Head and Cycles Etc., the minimal lyric
sequences The Other Side of the Room and The Journeying and the
Returns, and various concrete and sound-texts such as Lament, The
Year of the Frog and Ballads of the Restless Are. These collected
sequences show nichol developing his talents in both visual poetry
and lyricism, pointing the way towards the union of the two forms
in the later MARTYROLOGY. Combined with THE CAPTAIN POETRY POEMS
COMPLETE (published by BookThug in 2011), BP: BEGINNINGS now makes
all of Nichol's major poetry sequences available to both the avid
nichol specialists and to aficionados of innovative poetry
everywhere.
