Geof Huth

 

Ef

“Ef,” from a series of visual poems based on the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, is a poem about the unquenchable creation of language. The giant “ef” blows out of its mouth characters from a number of different alphabets, which together represent the spoken tongues of all humans across all time. As with each of these Cyrillic poems (though counter to my usual practice), I have signed the poem with a small “ef,” representing “Geof.”

 

 

REAddIoBoy

 

“REAddIoBoY” (who never forgets) is a fidgetglyph, a type of small unambitious doodle-like visual poem. I often draw fidgetglyphs during meetings at work as a way to satisfy my constant desire to create. I have made over one thousand of these tiny visual poems, most of which I’ve preserved in small hardback books.
