Legendary poet and video artist Tom Konyves presents his long awaited new book of poems Perfect Answers to Silent Questions. His work as an video artist has enriched his work as his poetry is both visually articulate and expressively cinematic. A precise rendering of literary archetypes and informed perceptions, including dadaism and surealism, found poems, photo poems, haiku and language poetry, these poems are a journey through modernity. A faithful tribute to the unsayable, Perfect Answer to Silent Questions layers the perfect answers with the lingering insistence of unsaid questions.

Tom Konyves was born in Budapest, Hungary. He is a video producer currently living in BC. Based in Montreal until 1983, his poetry has evolved from his mid–seventies association with the Vehicule Poets to the reflective and almost delicate work created in the later Vancouver poems. He coined the term "videopoetry" to describe his mulitmedia work. Hi works include Poetry in Performance (The Muses’ Company), Ex Perimeter, and Sleepwalking Among the Camels: New and Selected Poems (The Muses’ Company). Stephen Morrissey was born in Montreal.
