About This Book
Originally twelve years in the making! Featuring a cast of thousands. It still stars the letter H, and introduces Probable Systems, Negatives, and the Actual Life of Language! Your heart will pound as you see H's turn into I's before your very own eyes. You'll thrill as words fall apart only to create other words. You'll gasp as bpNichol collaborates with the dead. You'll shake your head in disbelief as he walks the line between fact and fiction one step beyond into the twilight zone of 'pataphysics.

for the saints (their genre)
early October poem
there is a well in this world in which our faces float
surface at the moment we appear
as if there were a dream we could return from
a mirror we could walk thru to ourselves
there is a path leads there thru a wood that i have travelled
often from an urge to be alone
a lady who is flesh & vaginal
i take for my own
there is a window in which a light appears
a door i knock upon
song sung
a younger one who is also me
i am afraid to know
sometimes at night i go there
gaze into my face as it appears
turn back into that lady's arms
no harm surely to befall me
watch myself thru the window playing
saying to myself ‘is this what you are?
is this all?

from CATULLUS poem XXVII
Minister with pure oil Falerni
my calloused armour injuries,
and let Postumiae lube the magistrate,
his bride's seen his bridle sores.
at your hole you bet the stinker'd bite, he's limp,
wine's pernicious, and all love's semen
migrates: hiccups from his mouth onto your thighs.
three small songs for gladys hindmarch
language is or was or has been has been said before i did say once as gertrude did commas are disgusting little things such sucks she did did not say said they do things for you you should do for yourself they make you lazy ruling out commas what did i say was it yesterday or the day before sitting on this plane drunk there is this nun behind this guy is badgering says he knows something about her he will tell her later but he knows her late or early sitting up i'm tired no well okay this one time son sure you can stay up & listen to the radio tomorrow i'll step off to continue as words or language does that sense of it continually run together in our heads articulate the causal separations when the baby comes the silver spoon screaming from the mouth we are blessed all that is best & wonderful

images imagine packages this is the way it is yesterday the wind blew today the sky is blue if the wind blows does the sky blow
this is a story i mentioned before imagine the imagination can you this is how you begin the image is imagination
dear gladys today the sky is without form it is colour only or imagine how the sky's form is imaginary (it is) as saint ory told me that was a different story i could not imagine then
scene: a small window completely filled with blue the action is from left to right imagine someone walks thru a saint addresses you
