& Guido, thanks for posting that work.

I've been promising to take on this automatic writing/drawing-asemic connection. Interesting territory. Someday.

Fatime, I agree the old typewriters are very hard to work with compared to any sort of word processing or photoshop to make concrete poetry. Cheryl Penn, for one, still uses a typewriter for some things. Folks might remember her Zalop concerto that used a standard typewriter:

JACQUES BERNIMOLIN, 1923 - 1995

Second part of my artist book publication
Greetings from Lewis & Harris, 1994, second edition in 1995 (61-120) by Lingua & Littera, Liza Leyla, Belgium

containing automatic drawings by Jacques
Bernimolin, a poet and pharmacist who followed
the experiments of Henri Michaux and Aldous Huxley (Connaissance par les gouffres / Gates of perception). Next to his amazing vispo work he became a rap poet at an elderly age.
After he died in a retirement home an art commando of friends raided the place to save his artistic heritage

from destruction.
His works are scattered between Belgium and France and in the hands of close friends...

GREETINGS FROM LEWIS & HARRIS, Part 1

Around 1992 the idea started of personal encounters between networkers all over the globe, A KIND OF MAIL ART TRAVELING.
A congress happened each time mail artists met each other!
Contested by some in the network (no personal meetings, see the statements of Keith Bates in the UK) many joined this movement of personal and collective encounters.

My first publication to document a personal effort happened in 1994, when I traveled to Scotland.
Second traveling to Scotland happened in 1996 in the company of Marilyn Dammann, a networker from the USA with Scottish and Irish roots.

Second edition of the book (61-120) published in 1995 by Lingua & Littera, Liza Leyla, Belgium.

PART 1 of this book with automatic drawings, cut up poems, glue painting and photo of the standing stones of Callanish at the isle of Lewis and Harris... (Western Hebrids)

beautiful poem De Villo!
I have many difficulties in the typewriter, I find it very difficult and you can not make mistakes

hahaha! good question. I'll withhold my rant on that! I'm still trying to avoid egg in the face.

Cool pic, Kerri.

I'm glad you rescued me from delivering a rant on the state of contemporary poetry.

Which came first? The pollo or the egg?
