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.
Heads & H&Z, 1985
This anthology Includes reprints of a selection of curry's publishing activities focusing on his rubberstampings of minimalistic and concrete poems of his own and his circle of poets. Dean comments: this making precious of the single poem was the result of necessity as much as esthetic deliberation; curry published within a finite small budget. This could have caused poor-quality production, i.e. Gestetner, offset or xerox. Instead it resulted in hand-stamp, hand-set rubber type, as his chosen (& unique) means of publication. His scaled down book remained both anarchic and typographically refined. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Homage to Sam Langford / Curnoe, Greg; bissett b; Nichol bp., 1970
This work is presented as a narrative text with color coding of the rubberstamped words, paragraph by paragraph, to indicate place or characteristics of activity of author. In this respect, the idea is similar to Anne Noel's drawing series of colored text, "Conflux," which is held by the Sackner Archive. Curnoe was killed by an automobile while riding his motorcycle at age 55 years in June 1993. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Konfessions of an Elizabethan Fan Dancer / Nichol, bp ; Cobbing B., 1973
bp Nichol dedicated this book "to Bob Cobbing who took that chance of first publishing me thank you." The paper slip contains the following: "KONFESSIONS OF AN ELIZABETHAN FAN DANCER is a collection of bp Nichol's "borderblur" pieces from the period 1964-1966. It includes some previously unpublished material. It is ironical that Nichol's work of this perid, upon which his earlier reputation was based, has not previously been published in book form in Canada. KONFESSIONS fills the gap." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
