Nights on Prose Mountain
By Megan N. LibertyA new collection that captures the enigmatic prose of poet and interdisciplinary figure bpNichol. The collection appears not like a traditional collected stories, but rather a book grouped thematically by time and subject matter more so than genre or form.
The Curious Moaning of Kenfig Burrows
