Comment by Bradford on July 26, 2020 at 12:49am: Thanks for posting this set of reviews this afternoon. As usual, they are all succinct, yet expository.

One work resembled me, There’s No Telling What, in that my method of taking released documents of formerly "SECRET" or "TOP SECRET" classification and working them for a visual effect, if not 100% asemic.

BTW, your page background is an amazing library of non-lettered spines with only one undecipherable exception.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 25, 2020 at 6:47pm: Thank you for the posts and welcome to new members.

I have posted four book reviews at Asemic Front 2. Books are by John M. Bennett (group member), Rebecca Resinski (group member), Rosaire Appel and May Bery. There are vispo-asemic books.

Comment by Alan Brignull on July 20, 2020 at 12:48pm: Found asemics, road repairs or Arabic graffiti?

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 15, 2020 at 6:04pm: Thanks for sharing, Bradford!

My collabs with Kristine Snodgrass have been published in book form. I'm sending copies to mail art friends, especially the members of our pioneering IUOMA asemic group (but also just swell & cool folks like Bradford).

And in the spirit of SSP (Shameless Self Promotion) we know here at IOU-MA: Copies can be purchased via Amazon.

BUT I WOULD MUCH RATHER GIVE THEM TO MA FRIENDS. If you have not received a copy of "Whistle" and are interested in having one (as mail art thus no charge) send me a message back stage. (While they last)

Comment by Bradford on July 15, 2020 at 9:27am: What words can be used to describe asemic treasure? Obviously, words are not needed to cast a spell so take a look:

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 8, 2020 at 3:14am: Kim Kiriako (California, USA) is doing some interesting hybrid work with concrete poetry (typewriter art) & asemic writing. I've posted some of it at Asemic Front 2 along with a link to her ongoing Women Asemic Writers Exhibit, which is a tremendous place to see artists you know from IUOMA & from elsewhere.
