Reading in Chicago

Geof Huth, "EQUI" (6 August 2011)My next reading and performance of full-body poetry will be a part of the Red Rover Reading Series, which is for readings playing with reading. Since that is what my readings do, I think it is perfectly appropriate for me to read there. Here are the details:

Red Rover Reading Series
Geof Huth
Outer Space Studio

Geof Huth writes frequently about poetry, visual and otherwise, at his blog, dbqp: visualizing poetics. His poetry consists of one-word poems, poems written in unintelligible scripts, poems painted onto canvas or assembled within boxes, poems 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. Each of his poetry performances attempts to use his entire body fully to examine the possible extent of poetry. His latest book is ntst: the collected pwoermds of geof huth, a book of 775 one-word poems.

If you'll be in Chicago at that time, because you live nearby or will be attending the Society of American Archivists meeting that will be ending that Saturday afternoon, please stop by to enlarge the crowds and enjoy some poetry performance. I can't guarantee you'll enjoy it, but I at least try to keep the audience's attention, surprise a little, and push the boundaries of poetry, and I do it with my entire body in motion the whole time.And here are a couple of links to the Red Rover Reading Series:
