What is ascemic writing?

What is visual poetry?

I have a pen pal who is interested in learning about them after telling her that I read Judith women making visual poetry and it was my favorite art book of 2021.

Your responses will be printed and mailed to her. Thank you!

Asemic writing is writing down non-existent characters. 

To me asemic writing is a calming exercise for my brain as well as my mind. I give my hands the opportunity to let go of the controlling system of my will. 

Practising keeping an asemic journal is a way to letting steam of emotions. Asemic diaries need no lock!

Also new formed letters give me joy with their surprising beauty. Sometimes I use them to practise calligraphy, I call them callisemics https://callisemics.blogspot.com/

Asemics are very intriguing. I follow some practitioners on Insta. Especially their little movies often take my breath away. 

Recently I took up asemic embroidery, it's so much fun.

In short, asemics, highly recommended!

My definition of asemic writing: Everything that could be written

(i.e. it is possible to write it, and it is possible that something that already exists might have been created through writing).
