Please use the comments feature of this blog page to respond to anything posted on this site. 

From David Rosenberg:

This site, I'm told, will open with my response to the shocking, newly rediscovered Nichol Tapes, now available at bpNichol.ca   But this site here should invite response from everyone, especially in response to the Tapes as well as to "aka bpNichol," the new biography of Nichol by Frank Davey.  I use the word "response" rather than "comment" purposefully, because much of the initial response to the Nichol biography has been visceral, as if the comments are based on rumors of the book rather than close reading. 

If one starts by listening to the new/old Nichol Tapes, questions of authorship and much else rise to the surface and urge a close reading of "aka bpNichol," so that these two recent literary events inform each other.  If these don't subsequently lead to a re-reading of "The Martyrology," I'll be shocked indeed.

I have looked through your great timeline and would like to suggest that you include the many publication that bp produced often under the imprint of "gronk". There are a collection of many of them up at the special collections at Simon Fraser University. Perhaps there is another collection of them in Toronto. I would guess that jwcurry's 3,000 page bibliography of bp which can be accessed on line @ Flikr will have these listed if.

I suggest that the grok series be included because bp's desire to reach out to those around him had a great impact on Canadian writing and I hope that that aspect of his personality will be included with other information on other aspects of his life and writing

Good idea, Judy. I've added grOnk to the timeline. Might have to do something else about the hundred or more issues -- they would swamp the timeline unless we expanded it as well.
