vishyuns accompanies novel
(2012)
The one-man culture known as bill bissett has broken new ground-as usual-with his first work of sem-fiction, novel (Talonbooks $17.95), partially an uncapitalized narrative about a character named jimmee searching for his lover, mark. There are also "pomes and essays"; to comprise a mélange of invariably vibrant bissett humour and wisdom-as usual. There is nobody like bill bissett and there is no novel like novel. His bio material states he is, "originalee from lunaria ovr 300 yeers ago in lunarian time sent by shuttul thru halifax nova scotia originalee wantid 2 b dansr n figur skatr b became a poet n paintr in my longings after 12 operaysyuns reelee preventid me from following th inishul direksyuns."; Simultaneously, Carl Peters has released the first scholarly study of bissett's poetry and pictures, textual vishyuns: image and text in the work of bill bissett (Talonbooks $24.95).
