I am curious how members view the phenomenon of spontaneous asemics and if they ever experience something like I did this afternoon. I was tidying my workspace and while lifting a pile of paper I detected marks of ink that got stuck to the plastic…Continue

Here's another "asemic wall" pic Marie Wintzer sent from Japan:
Marie Wintzer in Japan e-mailed me this photo she took yesterday of what she calls an "asemic wall." I think it's cool; I don't think she'll mind if I post it. Please send your positive thoughts to Marie. She's a really fine mail-artist. She's going through some serious trials in Japan. I can't wait to have her back and know she's OK:
Nothing is random...
I saw that crushed plywood just like it is in the photo in a parking lot and took a photo of it close up
I was looking for it
and found it
That's what I thought too, Bruno. You just have to extend asemics to include haptic and object poetry. It works for me. Isn't Lost & Found Times amazing? John Bennett was doing this stuff before most people in the USA knew it had a name. Back in the day, I was afraid to submit to Lost & Found because I didn't think I was good enough. Probably wasn't.
I thought choosing canzone was interesting for "canzone for plywood." I forgot what the form is in poetry and had to look it up. Like a madrigal, which would mean a heavy use of repetition. Here's from Wikipedia:
Literally "song" in Italian, a canzone (plural: canzoni) (cognate with English to chant) is an Italian or Provençal song or ballad. It is also used to describe a type of lyric which resembles a madrigal. Sometimes a composition which is simple and songlike is designated as a canzone, especially if it is by a non-Italian; a good example is the aria "Voi che sapete" from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro.
The term canzone is also used interchangeably with canzona, an important Italian instrumental form of the late 16th and early 17th century. Often works designated as such are canzoni da sonar; these pieces are an important precursor to the sonata. Terminology was lax in the late Renaissance and early Baroque music periods, and what one composer might call "canzoni da sonar" might be termed "canzona" by another, or even "fantasia". In the work of some composers, such as Paolo Quagliati, the terms seem to have had no formal implication at all.
Derived from the Provençal canso, the very lyrical and original Italian canzone consists of 5 to 7 stanzas typically set to music, each stanza resounding the first in rhyme scheme and in number of lines (7 to 20 lines). The canzone is typically hendecasyllabic (11 syllables). The congedo or commiato also forms the pattern of the Provençal tornado, known as the French envoi, addressing the poem itself or directing it to the mission of a character, originally a personage. Originally delivered at the Sicilian court of Emperor Frederick II during the 13th century of the Middle Ages, the lyrical form was later commanded by Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, and leading Renaissance writers such as Spenser (the marriage hymn in his Epithalamion).
Hi Bruno, I did call you sometime back. We were reacting to John Bennett's "canzone for plywood." It was along the lines of found material and asemic writing. I think the furor is over. This is John Bennett's piece I pulled up from lower down the stream:
