Descriere Some Lines of Poetry: From the Notebooks of Bpnichol - Bpnichol

\nCBC BOOKS CANADIAN POETRY COLLECTIONS TO WATCH FOR IN FALL 2024 \n \n\n \nFor bpNichol's 80th birthday, a selection of 80 pieces from his 1980s notebooks, an astounding trove of never-before-seen work.\n \n \nOne of Canada's most beloved poets, bpNichol (1944-1988), left a huge legacy of poetry, prose, scripts, comics, and playful interrogation of language after his untimely passing in 1988. In celebration of what would have been Nichol's eightieth birthday, Some Lines of Poetry gathers excerpts from Nichol's journals across the 1980s to give a unique perspective on craft, process, and a writer's life. Featuring works in progress, insight into Nichol's thinking, previously unpublished prose and lyric, visual, and sound poems, Some Lines of Poetry documents Nichol's apprenticeship to language and his playful daily exploration of the limits of writing.\n \n \nLovingly edited by noted poet-scholars Derek Beaulieu and Gregory Betts, who provide an afterword contextualizing Nichol's practice, Some Lines of Poetry is a map of hidden corners, a guidebook to poetic play, and a tribute to Nichol's ongoing influence.\n \nNo other writer of our time and place was so diverse, attempted so much, and never lost sight of his intent. - Michael Ondaatje \n\n
