News & Reviews
“Konyves is after large collaborations: between sight and sound, form and content, environment and art, poetry and technology, conception and performance, the audience and poet. Removing words from a linear context is part of Konyves’ war of imagination against rationalism: war against any hard line, political or artistic, which is exclusive or divisive.” —Books in Review
