The Alphabet Game an Ottawa Citizen Holiday Pick
On Sunday, December 2nd, the Ottawa Citizen asked Canadian authors what books they would love to give for the holidays, and what books they hope Santa will bring them. Among the books mentioned was The Alphabet Game: A bpNichol Reader.<!--newline--><!--newline-->rob mclennan declared, 'I would give copies of The Alphabet Game: a bpNichol Reader, edited by Darren Wershler-Henry and Lori Emerson (Coach House Books, 2007). bpNichol is one of the most important Canadian poets of the 20th century, and this new selection should be on every aspiring writer or reader of poetry's "essential reading" list. When one reads Shakespeare, one is aware of just how far the language can take you, and reading bpNichol is no different. He was our Walt Whitman; there is the poetry that came before bpNichol, and the poetry that came after.'<!--newline--><!--newline-->Visit Ottawa Citizen's website to see other authors' holiday picks.
