The visual poetry section is also very good:

Dear Judith,

We tend not to worry too much about following any strict guidelines for asemic writing or visual poetry (vispo) in this group.

Were you to scroll back the comments for years in this group, you'd find lengthy and sometimes contentious discussions about asemic writing.

Your work I've seen in the gallery is clearly text-oriented and directed toward the relation of language to image. That pretty much makes you a visual poet already.

Asemic writing is (most agree) a form of vispo where you are creating writing that cannot be read in a conventional way. Children do it naturally; it's that simple. (But then again Ph.D. literary theorists are writing about it.) Your choice, I guess.

The Wikipedia definition is actually very good should you wish to pursue this aspect of asemics. But you might be better off following your heart and intuition. They seem to be serving you well.

I've put up some great collabs by Cheryl Penn (South Africa) & Allan Bealy (USA) at Asemic Front 2. These are "hybrid" pieces that draw from concrete poetry, vispo, Lettrism (all things it helps to know about) but definitely asemic in the sense that language is fractured, reconstructed, new symbols made. Thx to Cheryl (actually an early founder of this group) and Allan of New York City.

Judith - I’m going to throw in my 2 cents... Your work on that DVS starter is awesome. I really like the train tracks idea! Keep it up!!

Comment by Judith Dagan on April 24, 2019 at 12:25pm

De Villo, Do you recognize your started? I don't know what track I am on. Is this vispo?

Welcome Judith! Feel free to post, comment, ask questions, etc. I do often take postings for the Asemic Front project and some people use them for collabs as well. -DVS

Jayne and I are on the same path with these asemic-vispo pieces (that's how I think of them) that have a lot of image-text relations & textural deconstruction. That's great for AF2!
