Drew McEwan on bill bissett

Drew McEwan, author of tours, variously, pens an article about bill bissett (th book uv lost passwords 1, its th sailors life / still in treetment, and more) and lunaria in Canadian Literature 262.

From the abstract: “Drew McEwan explores the mythical planet both in lunaria and in the lunarian autobiographical paratexts as critical developments in bissett’s work and ideas. Further, it argues that these texts articulate a mad and queer temporality that provides a critical perspective on normative “erthling wayze.” bissett’s poetic and extra-poetic lunarian texts elaborate a utopian state of temporality, community, and nurturance borne in relation to the failures of those deemed too crazy, too queer, here on Earth.”
