I was reading through a collection of Ted Berrigan's talks this
morning, while lying in the bathtub avoiding work, and it occurred to
me that Berrigan's generosity of spirit, mentorship of younger poets,
prolific writing, making a "living" as a poet, and early death all
parallel the Canadian poet bpNichol.
Any thoughts from anyone familiar with these two writers?
