Kristen Smith interviews Stephen Cain, editor of bp: beginnings by bpNichol, about the editorial process and challenges he faced while orchestrating this collection of Nichols early major sequences. As a long time fan of Nichol’s work, and having been deeply influenced by him in my own writing, there was some difficulty in remaining objective in my assessment of his poetry. I do, however, think the introduction is successful in articulating various ways that one can read the sequences without being too restrictive.
