Scoop Info
Geof Hewitt won Vermont's poetry slam championship in 2004 (by one-tenth of a point). There hasn't been a Vermont championship since, so he continues to brag that he is "Vermont's Reigning Poetry Slam Champion."
He has been writing and publishing poems since his high-school days; his books are in good libraries, at better bookstores and available from the trunk of his car: just ask! Geof serves as slammaster at gatherings throughout New England, and often visits Vermont schools to spread the magic of writing and performing. He lives in Calais with his wife Janet. They have two grown children and two grandsons.
