"As Man Is To God " is a single meditative poem, written in perfect dactylic tetrameter on the di icult lming of Werner Herzog's 1982 masterpiece of obstinacy, Fitzcarraldo, from a writer who knows something about persistence. Andrew (Nicholls) is not like you or me. The punk band he formed circa 1979 with lifelong writing partner Darrell Vickers, Nobby Clegg and the Civilians, was like a Canadian cross between Billy Bragg and the Buggles, and their resolute fans still haunt the Internet for some sign of life. Together they've written standup for George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Rodney Danger eld and Garry Shandling; survived a year with Alan Thicke; and eventually became sta (and then head) writers for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. -Paul Cullum, writer, journalist "For he had decided la m???taphore juste For the struggle of art, the mind's arrow unloosed, Was a muse-sotted aesthete, a tune-loving pill Dragging a steamship up over a hill." Andrew Nicholls, il miglior fabbro of the precisely calibrated gag, lets loose with a rollicking tale in verse as astonishing in its foolhardiness as the lm shoot it chronicles. Reading As Man Is to God is like watching a master jeweler carve Mount Rushmore. We stare wide-eyed as the maniacal miniaturist brings o his magnum opus, one deft, hilarious touch at a time. The result is every bit as thrilling and endlessly revisitable as Herzog's Fitzcarraldo , a rousing tribute to the folly and genius of our species. -Boris Dralyuk, translator, author of My Hollywood and Other Poems
