Paperback. Condition: New. CBC BOOKS "CANADIAN POETRY COLLECTIONS TO WATCH FOR IN FALL 2024"For bpNichol's 80th birthday, a selection of 80 pieces from his 1980s notebooks, an astounding trove of never-before-seen work.One 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 Featuring works in progress, insight into Nichol's thinking, previously unpublished prose and lyric, visual, and sound poems, Some Lines of Poetry documents Nichol's "apprenticeship to language" and his playful daily exploration of the limits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.Lovingly 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."No other writer of our time and place was so diverse, attempted so much, and never lost sight of his intent." - Michael Ondaatje.

Paperback. Condition: New. Typography meets poetry at a Pink Floyd laser-light showIn Surface Tension, poetry is liquefied. Flowing away from meaning, letters and words gather and pool into puddles of poetry; street signs and logos reflected in the oily sheen of polluted gutters of rainwater. Like a funhouse mirror reflecting th…e language that surrounds us, the pages drip over the margins, suggesting that Madge was right, we are "soaking in it!"Surface Tension updates visual poetry for our post-pandemic age, asking us rethink the verbiage around us, to imagine letters as images instead of text, to find meaning in their beautiful shapes as Beaulieu stretches, torques, slides, blurs, and melts them into Dali-esque collages."The striking compositions you'll find in Surface Tension are being presented sequentially in book form, yet that they wouldn't be out of place hanging on the wall goes without saying. Beaulieu swerves Gomringer when writing that 'Readibility is the key: like a logo, a poem should be instantly recognizable.' yet, to this reader, these works merit sustained and enthusiastic viewing precisely because they teeter on the edge of legibility. The kinetic, glitchy quality of their 'alphabetic strangeness' keeps them unrecognizable as poems and, here, 'that is poetry as I need it,' to quote Cage. Think of them as anti-advertisings selling you nothing but bountiful manifestations of the irreducible plasticity of numbers, punctuation marks, and letter forms. No logos." - Mónica de la Torre, Madelon Leventhal Rand Endowed Chair in Literature, Brooklyn College; co-editor of Women in Concrete Poetry 1959-1979"With his distinctive visual palindromes and angled axes of symmetry, Derek Beaulieu has developed a signature mastery of Letraset, leveraging the twentieth-century technology as a vehicle for bring concrete poetry into the twenty-first century. With Surface Tension, Beaulieu takes the possibilities of that new idiom even further, unsettling the fixity his symmetries once reinforced and dislodging the set in Letraset as poems distort in fun-house-mirror swerves, sag as if under their own weight, pool and smear in the liquid logic of heated ink, or swoop and blur as if in motion. In the process, these poems make visible the filmic potential of the photocopier, the facture of abraded transfers from brittling stock, and the three-dimensional substrate of the page with its flexible bends in curving space. These are thus poems in part about their own modes of production. They are beautiful products of a self-aware and intelligent process." - Craig Dworkin, author of Radium of the Word: A Poetics of Materiality"'When most of the language we consume is non-poetic, should poetry not attempt to poetically intervene within these spaces that are not traditionally poetic?' The answer to Derek Beaulieu's question, put forward in his beautiful essay, is surely yes: the ten brilliantly adventurous visual poems in his Surface Tension make a startling case for his fascinating Let.

Beaulieu's compositions originate in a place of clean design and logical narrative; soon, as in a dream, they open up, ushering in what he calls 'a poetry of difference, chance, eruption.' Marcel Duchamp would have called it the poetry of the infrathin: watch 'Simple Symmetry' or 'Dendrochronology' open up and come alive in their minutely evolving new spaces. This is quite simply an enchanting book a book producing new pleasures with each turn of the page."

Paperback. Condition: New. Nights on Prose Mountain gathers all of beloved writer bpNichol's published fiction. Originally appearing between 1968 and 1983, and representing almost the entire arc of Nichol's writing career, Nights on Prose Mountain is by turns heartbreaking, playful, and evocative. While Nichol's poetry is widely… studied, researched and taught, his novels have remained out of print and are overdue for a new edition. Nichol's curiosity and craft, his exploration and exuberance, his lyricism and adventurousness are all on exhibit here. From the Governor General's Award-winning "The True Eventual Story of Billy the Kid" through more obscure treasures like Extreme Positions, and including Still, For Jesus Lunatick, and Andy, Nights on Prose Mountain traces Nichol's life in fiction.
