Tom Konyves

Tom Konyves was born on July 13, 1947 in Budapest, Hungary.
Based in Montreal until 1983, his poetry evolved from his mid-seventies association with The Vehicule Poets – a period distinguished by Dadaist/Surrealist/experimental writings, performance works and “videopoems” – to the reflective and almost delicate work created in the later Vancouver poems.
In 1978, he coined the term "videopoetry" to describe his multimedia work, and is considered to be one of the original pioneers of the form. He is currently teaching Visual Poetry at UCFV-Abbotsford, BC.
