The Four Horsemen (poetry)
The Four Horsemen was a sound poetry group of Canadian poets composed of bpNichol, Rafael Barreto-Rivera, Paul Dutton and Steve McCaffery that also performed concrete poetry. The group was active from 1972 to 1988.
They released 2 12-inch vinyl records of their collaborative sound poetry, 2 cassettes, as well as 3 print collections & the unique broadside Schedule For Another Place. The Four Horsemen also appeared in Ron Mann's 1982 documentary film Poetry in Motion.
They were Canada's first sound poetry ensemble, leading directly to the formation of at least 3 further groups: Owen Sound in Toronto, Re:Sounding in Edmonton & Quatuor Gualuor in Ottawa.
