Description

Sound poetry dates back at least to the experiments of Dada poets such as Kurt Schwitters and Hugo Ball. In Canada, it has been strong since the 1960s, when bp Nichol and bill bissett began exploring and reinventing its traditions. In the 1990s, a new generation of sound poets has revitalized the Canadian tradition and on this CD their voices sound alongside many of the best-known earlier practitioners.
