Ground Works: Avant-Garde for Thee , 2002
This book is a compendium of Canadian avant garde writing from 1965 to 1985. Margaret Atwood, who contributed an over-view essay of the work produced during those years, collaborated with Bok to organize the selections of experimental fiction by the authors. John Riddell contributed "Pope Leo: El Lope" from Criss-Cross. It is a lipogram using only the letters e, o, l and p. The contribution by bp Nichol is from "Still... a novel that depicts in minute detail the scenography for a potential, but postponed , story... his words provide a kind of textual terrain across which the eye pans like a camera." Steve McCaffery's "Panopticon" is an enigmatic whodunnit...The panopticon symbolizes the maze of words through which the reader must wander, playing the role of invisible spectator." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Two Novels: Andy / For Jesus Lunatick Second Edition / Nichol, bp., 1971
In contrast to the first edition in which the prose and poems were printed in back to back reversed sections for each of the two novels, the printing in this second edition is sequential. The illustrations are printed in their designated positions for "Andy" but the pages are left blank for the novel "For Jesus Lunatick. The book design is not nearly as successful as the first edition that is also held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
