16.06.20 Dare Mister DeVillo Sloan, ...am sorry to learn the technical particulars of this electronic world  have become troublesome  for you. (for a  naive "luddite" such as I ---it has always  been "Alice in Wonderhell" .  Of late, I can't even read the daily news without being blocked with overlays & ads covering whatever I might be attempting to view.-----But I do wish to communicate to you that I have always appreciated & learned much from your commentary here at the I.U.O.M.A. I will continue  to  look forward to your insight & offerings. Thanks to you & the I.U.O.M.A. ( Mister Ruud Janssen). SinCelery (as I recall, I adopted this little sign-off from you), Richard Canard

For old friends who are curious: I'm not re-posting my blogs at IUOMA-Ning anymore due to the excessive technical problems of loading the blogs that are causing me huge amounts of time & frustration. It has nothing to do w/ my longstanding support for IUOMA-Ning or its current members (well, maybe a little).

Loading photos in the IUOMA gallery is easier so I'll continue to do that.

My Asemic Front 2 & Glam Faction (although GF is banned on FB) blogs are still active & I am posting mail art there. I'll share links at IUOMA-Ning when I can.

(The internet is just get less fun all the time!)

Thanks to all Asemic Front contributors - the project is still going.

Many thanks to group member Jan Hodgman (Washington State, USA) who sent a fab contribution to Asemic Front (which I finally documented). Thx for a beautiful piece, Jan

I received an interesting email from group member & visual poet of note Jim Leftwich who is currently traveling in the USA. He responds to the AF2 blog of his mail art (recently shared in our group).

He adds some info on the subject of the terms "asemic," "vispo," "pansemic," etc. which are causing some flurry in corners of the visual poetry world. Jim also tied his comments to some hard-to-find work he did in 2005. Many thax to Jim Leftwich

7 new asemic-vispo mail art pieces by none other than Jim Leftwich at Asemic Front! It took a while for me to document them but they are never-before-seen and original.

(Anyone know Jim's address? I think he left Virginia.)

Dave Araki (husband of IUOMA member Li Araki) sent me this great photo of found asemics he took on the Lower East Side, New York City, April 27, 2020. I'm using it in AF2, Thanks Dave! Much interest in found asemics in our group.

I've posted Lettrist-based asemic vispo by Serse Luigetti (Italy) at Asemic Front 2. Thought-provoking & a joy to view. Many thx to Serse for contributing to the AF2 project.

If they don't work here you can find them in the asemics group at FB, my FB or via Cecil if you know him.
