Situates the Benedictine monk, concrete poet and artist Dom Sylvester Houédard within the countercultural and transnational art movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
The aim of this book is to reinstate the Benedictine monk and artist Dom Sylvester Houédard as an important figure within the countercultural and transnational art movement of the 1960s and early 1970s, especially as regards kinetic and concrete poetry.
Widely recognised by his contemporaries as one of the leading theorists and outstanding practitioners of concrete poetry, Guernsey-born Dom

Sylvester Houédard (1924–1992) is an unsung intellect of the twentieth century.
Houédard is deeply relevant to our digital age. We may no longer use an Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter, as he did, but we all increasingly type rather than hand-write our lives. He would have been delighted by the permutational possibilities offered by the 280 characters in a tweet, or the visual shorthand of emojis and hashtags.

For this monk, everything connected and was interconnected. The opportunity for the individual to compose ‘machinepoems’ or text works that ‘move thru the air’ in a ‘global kinkon’ is now greater than ever.

Dr Andrew Hunt is a curator, writer and educator based in London and Manchester. He is currently Professor of Fine Art and Curating at the Manchester School of Art at Manchester Metropolitan University. Dr Nicola Simpson is a Research Impact Fellow at Norwich University of the Arts, before which she was a lecturer at The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University. Her doctoral dissertation centred on Houédard's work.
