'All of Nichol's work is stamped by his desire to create texts
that are engaging in themselves as well as in context, and to use
indirect structural and textual devices to carry meaning. In "The
Martyrology" different ways of speaking testify to a journey
through different ways of being. Language is both the poet's
instructor and, through its various permutations, the dominant
'image' of the poem. The [nine] books of "The Martyrology" document
a poet's quest for insight into himself and his writing through
scrupulous attention to the messages hidden in the morphology of
his own speech.' - Frank Davey
