Blues
by bpNichol










One of Canada’s leading experimental writers, bpNichol (Barrie Phillip Nichol) first achieved international recognition for his poetry in the 1960s, when he was in his 20s. Over the next two decades, the Vancouver-born Nichol also wrote novels, short fiction, children’s books, musical scores and computer texts.  In 1970, he won a Governor General’s Award for poetry for four volumes that showed his range as a writer and an editor. A fervent believer in the power of artistic collaboration, Nichol performed sound poetry as a member of the ensemble The Four Horsemen, and partnered with leading composers and visual artists. In the 1980s, he became a successful writer for the children’s television show Fraggle Rock, produced by Jim Henson. bpNichol died in 1988, shortly before his 44th birthday.
