Barrie Phillip Nichol (1944-1988) was a Canadian poet and author who worked on Fraggle Rock. He often presented his name with his initials in lowercase, with no spaces between them and his last name: bpNichol.
During the 1960s, he established himself as a writer of "concrete" poetry, and also experimented with audio "sound poetry." For Fraggle Rock, Nichol scripted more than a dozen episodes across the course of the series, and also filled in for Dennis Lee as a song lyricist for such tunes as "Muck and Goo" and "The Joy."
