<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The long-lost fiction of avant-garde hero bpNichol collected into one groundbreaking volume.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Nights on Prose Mountain</i> 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, <i>Nights on Prose Mountain</i> 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 <i>Extreme Positions</i>, and including <i>Still, For Jesus Lunatick</i>, and <i>Andy, </i> <i>Nights on Prose Mountain</i> traces Nichol's life in fiction.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>bpNichol (Barrie Phillip Nichol, 1944-1988) was the author of numerous books of poetry, including <i>In England Now That Spring</i> (co-authored with Steve McCaffery), <i>Truth: A Book of Fictions</i> and nine volumes of <i>The Martyrology, as well as four novels, several books for children and one collection of short fiction. <i>The Alphabet Game: a bpNichol Reader</i>, published posthumously, presents an overview of his writing. A founding member of the sound poetry quartet The Four Horsemen, Nichol was recognized internationally as one of the major avant-garde writers of his time. Besides his small press and magazine editorial activities (including <i>Ganglia, grOnk</i> and Underwhich Editions), he was a great collaborator with many artists in the areas of writing, sound poetry performance, and linguistic research. He was also a writer for the TV series <i>Fraggle Rock</i>.
