My students in both undergraduate graduate courses always loved to hear him read from his most recent work. On one of these occasions, bp agreed to give an all-day reading of The Martyrology. It was a lovely warm day, July [8], 1983, when 25 or so people gathered in a seminar room to listen to bp. He read the whole day, except for a lunch break. I organized and recorded the event. Perhaps worth noting, two days before, on July 6, 1983, bp had participated in a panel discussion with Robin Blaser and Sharon Thesen on “Poetry and the Sacred.” bp’s contribution appeared in Tracing the Paths: Reading ≠ Writing The Martyrology, a collection I edited for co-publication by the journal line and Talonbooks. bp died only months after he attended the launch of this book in Vancouver in 1988.</p></div> </div> Wed, 30 Oct 2019 12:12:51 +0000 gbetts 200 at https://bpnichol.ca https://bpnichol.ca/archive/audio/bpnichol-reads-martyrology-book-4-8-july-1983-part-2#comments
