Human Remains and Sudden Movements
Published by West House Books 2003
Edition 1st

Poetry. ‘Wry wit is the dancing skeleton of these deceptively simple poems which, often gentle in manner, domestic, meditative, shift focus and tone as a fading ripple reveals not the water expected; as if mist had force.’ (Tom Raworth)

Johan de Wit
Hippototescopo
Published by West House Books 2000
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Poems with footnotes. ‘Johan de Wit suspects that the guilty will not listen and his answer is to create formally autonomous literary texts, a pure poetry that is as solid as the world. The co-existence of the text and footnotes splits the poem along two axes of reading in a way which creates a multi-systemicity and opens up language itself as a medium.’ (Robert Sheppard) Typeset at Five Seasons Press.
