bpNichol Comics

bp Nichol was one of Canada's most challenging and innovative poets. His writing spans a remarkable range-from concise allegories on a single letter, on through to sound poetry, fiction, theoretical investigations and culminating in his nine-volume poem The Martyrology. Meanwhile: The Critical Writings of bpNichol (2001), bpNichol Comics (2001), Rational Geomancy (1992) and Selected Writing: As Elected (1980) are also available from Talonbooks.

Carl Peters wrote his MA thesis on bpNichol and the Kabbalah and his doctoral thesis on Nichol and the practice of the sacred. His critical study of bill bissett was published in 2011, and his annotations of Gertrude Stein in 2016. Dr. Peters teaches poetics and avant-garde art at the University of the Fraser Valley.
