About the Artist

Geof Huth's poetry consists of one-word poems, poems written in unintelligible scripts, poems painted onto canvas or assembled within boxes, poems spoken or sung and audio- or videorecorded during the moments of their creation, poems created within nature and left to disappear back into it, and even syntactic text separated into lines. He writes frequently about poetry, visual and otherwise, at his blog, dbqp: visualizing poetics (dbqp.blogspot.com). Each of his poetry performances attempts to use his entire body fully to examine the limitations of poetry. His latest book is ntst: the collected pwoermds of geof huth, a book of 775 one-word poems. His forthcoming book of poetry is AUTION CAUTION, a set of found and manipulated photopoems due out from Redfoxpress of Ireland.
