"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.
