The Toronto Research Group was an eighteen year collaboration and friendship between the late bpNichol and Steve McCaffery.In addition to reports on translation; the book-as-machine; and the search for non-narrative prose; this collection includes an informative introduction by McCaffery; a new report on performance; 'Reading and Writing: The Toronto Research Game'; and much hitherto unpublished material. From scholasticism to pop-up books, theBook of Nature to comic strips, these frequently witty, often irreverent and methodically mischievious reports document a vital era, not only in the intellectual growth of two individuals, but in the history of critical collaboration in North America.With a revised format, additional bibliography and profuse illustrations, this book will prove to be of inestimable value to anyone tracing the poetic archeology of the seventies in Anglophone Canada.
