The Daily Glance
Geof Huth's NTST is subtitled "the collected pwoermds of geof huth." Huth intends each pwoermds to be a one-word poem, yet since he often puts them on the same page, they seem to work as poems. Does that mean that the pwoermds in the book are highly intertextual poems? Huth calls them "an example of hyper-minimalist prosody in action," and they are. You can spot how words have transformed into these tiny poems, for example "watearth" or "aneither." This play on sound and meaning allows one to read an individual pwoermd in different ways. Still, though Huth stresses the separate quality of the pwoermds, its hard not to read some sequences on the same page as connected.

This section feels like its connected in a single piece, but perhaps it should be read as a division/section in a book. Overall, the book contains so many interesting pwoermds to analyze that it feels like a language game.
