Joel Stretch | 16 comments I would like to add a new edition of The Martyrology Books 1 & 2 by bpNichol. Details below!


* Title: The Martyrology Books 1 & 2

* Author(s) name(s): bpNichol

* ISBN (or ASIN): none

* Publisher: The Coach House Press

* Publication Date Year: 1977

* Publication Date Month: unknown

* Publication Date Day: unknown

* Page count: 238 pgs

* Format (such as paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook, etc): Paperback

* Description: '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
