Nights on Prose Mountain

Nights on Prose Mountain gathers all of beloved writer bpNichol's published fiction. Originally appearing between 1968 and 1983, and representing almost the entire arc of Nichols writing career, Nights on Prose Mountain is by turns heartbreaking, playful, and evocative. While Nichols poetry is widely studied, researched and taught, his novels have remained out of print and are overdue for a new edition. Nichols curiosity and craft, his exploration and exuberance, his lyricism and adventurousness are all on exhibit here. From the Governor General's Awardwinning The True Eventual Story of Billy the Kid through more obscure treasures like Extreme Positions, and including Still, For Jesus Lunatick, and Andy, Nights on Prose Mountain traces Nichols life in fiction.
