The visual poet extraordinare
Geof Huth has been "defining shapes." Some favorite examples:
… three reasons to suspend disbelief
∞ a conclusion of forever
* a star in the mind
? the hook that catches
- a stitch of text
) the end of whispers
{ a crumpled page
! surprising the ending
\ the path to
: two eyes that follow
; two eyes and one grain of sand
^ the hat of the missing
$ the sibilance of sermons
` a grave way of speaking
• dividing the string into threads
† the graveyard of the second thought
§ the pregnancy of sections
