Though he died at the young age of 44, Barrie Nichol was internationally influential as a visual poet and sound poet. Nichol authored the multi-volume \u003ci\u003eThe Martyrology\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most substantial long poems of the 20th century; four novels; two musical comedies; six children’s books; hundreds of hand-drawn visual poems; and 10 episodes of \u003ci\u003eFraggle Rock\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWritten by Frank Davey, one of Barrie’s numerous literary collaborators, \u003ci\u003eaka bpNichol\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the close connections among Nichol’s various activities, and includes a close reading of Nichol’s poetry. Davey examines how the autobiographical inquiries and Freudian dream analyses linked with the young Nichol’s biographical self-awareness, ultimately producing a writer whose main psychoanalytic client had become his own writing, and who could explore its slips, accidental puns, “unintended” meanings, and implications for the communal future of the human species both in high literature and the comic forms of prime-time television.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46506412376319,"sku":"9781770410190","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781770410190_s600x595.jpg?v=1781544820","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781770410190","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
