Caution: Aution

[image error] Geof Huth, "AUTION CAUTION" (2011)
For a few months now, I have been making poems by finding them in the world and photographing them. Possibly, the process is more complicated than that, since I'm actually photographing them with my phone using the well known Hipstamatic app. When I take the picture, I frame it carefully, and I choose the "film" and "lens" used to distort the found image in various ways. 


To many, the results wouldn't be poetry at all, but to me these small poems are simple yet expressive works that question the limitations of poetry and engage not with language as devised by the poet, but with texts and near-texts found and manipulated by the poet. I see this as a most direct way of responding to the world around me, by simply capturing it.


I probably have something like 100 of these poems now, and 46 of these appear in my newest book, AUTION CAUTION . Just out from Redfoxpress, this book is number 63 in the press' "C'est Mon Dada" series. There are three ways to purchase this book: 1. Purchase a copy directly from the publisher at this link; 2. Buy it via Amazon.co.uk; or 3. Purchase it at Printed Matter in New York City (once copies arrive there sometime in the future).
