Comment by Jan Hodgman on October 15, 2014 at 3:54pm: Fascinating! Thanks for posting, De Villo.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 15, 2014 at 1:15pm: Ficus strangulensis - a personal fave visual poet - has been doing some great digital re-mixes from Cheryl Penn's book Babel. Fike's pieces have some asemic possibilities. I blogged some selected examples, and he has been posting scans here at IUOMA.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 5, 2014 at 1:45am: Jim Leftwich sent me a truly extraordinary package of Trashpo, and an added bonus was a bunch of TLPs w/vispo-asemic collabs done by Jim and JMB. There is some amazing stuff there. I was able to scan about 2/3 of what came in the envelope. Have a look:

Comment by De Villo Sloan on October 3, 2014 at 7:00pm: Borderline Grafix (Austin, TX, USA) sent me a book of asemics: PhotoAsemic Landscapes. In the collection he uses what we've come to call in this group eco-asemics: asemic-suggestive forms from nature. In fact, Guido Vermeulen was one of our big contributors in that area. So thanks & congrats on the book to BG & people interested in trading asemics might put him on their lists.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on September 26, 2014 at 11:27am: In Memoriam: Guido Vermeulen (1954-2014)

Guido Vermeulen was a faithful and inspirational contributor to our asemic writing group, as well as a friend and faithful correspondent to many. He will be missed. Guido's work lives on, including amazing postings in these threads. He will not be forgotten.
