HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BP

bpNichol was born on Sep. 30, 1944. A founding member of The Four Horsemen, bp was recognized as a majoravant-garde writer of his time. Besides his small press and editorial activities, he often collaborated in writing, sound poetry performance, and linguistic research.

bp's work is a favourite (with our team, and with Coach House readers) all year long. His books are often best sellers at our in-person events at the Coach House, and readers love discovering his laneway poem, now also immortalized in our bookmarks, totes, & tees.

THANK YOU FOR AN EXCELLENT #WAYZGOOSE26!

We had a great time last week at our annual Wayzgoose on bpNichol Lane. Thanks again to everyone who came out for a hot dog, take a tour of the Coach House presses, and support us by buying a book or two. 📚🪿
