WATER POEM # 3
by bpNichol. Toronto, Letters, 1985.
when i decided to indulge my curiosity about how Nichol's COLD MOUNTAIN editions differed in their burnings, i had to look around for some matches. there on my worktable, a copy of this "book" with, appropriately enough, 2 matches left to go.
in Nichol's Catalogue of the Pataphysical Hardware Company, he states: "DADAISTS! ANARCHISTS! Buy a whole box and watch most of the edition go up in flames. Incomparable!"
while i've certainly used a number of books of these, i've always left the empty books laying around somewhere where they'd be seen before being disposed of. this is the closest i'll ever get to following his instructions on this one.
appropriate that they were used to "complete" COLD MOUNTAIN & doubly appropriate that they were on an island surrounded by waters that are indeed "tiring" at this time of year, the rate of flow at about the lowest i've seen it.
