Extreme Positions

bpNichol, Extreme Positions. Edmonton: The Longspoon Press, 1981.  Back cover: Extreme Positions, bpNichol's fourth published novel, uses the techniques of visual poetry to tell the extended tale of a ménage à trois. In a series of quick word stills the stilted violence unwinds as seen from the viewpoint of a terrified, distant, almost peripheral narrator/witness.
