Based in Montreal until 1983, Tom Konyves is most recognized for his mid-seventies association with The Vehicule Poets – a period distinguished by Dadaist/Surrealist/experimental writings, performance works and “videopoems”. In 1978, he coined the term "videopoetry" to describe his multimedia work, and is considered one of the original pioneers of the form. He has published numerous books of poetry, including: No Parking (Vehicule Press, 1978), Poetry in Performance (The Muses Company, 1982), Ex Perimeter (Caitlin Press, 1988), Sleepwalking Among The Camels: New and Selected Poems (The Muses Company, 1995) and OOSOOM, Out of Sight, Out of Mind (BookThug, 2007). He is currently teaching Visual Poetry at the University College of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, BC.
