About the book (from Uitgeverij):
An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is the first book-length publication to collect the work of a community of writers on the edges of illegibility. Asemic writing is a galaxy-sized style of writing, which is everywhere yet remains largely unknown. For human observers, asemic writing may appear as lightning from a storm, a crack in the sidewalk, or the tail of a comet. But despite these observations, asemic writing is not everything: it is just an essential component, a newborn supernova dropped from a calligrapher’s hand. Asemic writing is simultaneously communicating with the past and the future of writing, from the earliest undeciphered writing systems to the xenolinguistics of the stars; it follows a peregrination from the preliterate, beyond the verbal, finally ending in a postliterate condition in which visual language has superseded words. An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is compiled and edited by Tim Gaze from Asemic magazine and Michael Jacobson from The New Post-Literate blog.

pagine estive (o quasi) che vanno bene anche per l’autunno _ (13) l’ibridazione, lo scambio tra campi verbali e visivi

Commentando questo articolo (in particolare il punto 4), dico che a mio parere precisamente l’ibridazione, lo scambio tra campi verbali e visivi, la persistenza ed estensione e ampliamento della scrittura verbovisiva in paesi che non sono l’Italia, segnano non solo la continuazione di una storia secolare, ma precisamente quella “trasformazione” o addirittura quell’assalto alla monoliticità dei generi che l’articolo giustamente segnala e invoca. Il fatto è che l’Italia è stata un prodigioso motore di ricerche, avanguardie, esperimenti, passando poi il testimone a: tutto il resto del mondo. Che in Italia il motore sia semispento, o che non se ne avverta la vitalità se non in individui quasi isolati, non significa affatto immobilità della macchina globale, non italiana, che giusto il nostro paese ha contribuito con altri (Brasile, Francia, Germania, Cecoslovacchia) ad avviare.

(p.s.: quale poesia visiva è in crisi? Quella italiana, forse, probabilmente; non certo quella mondiale. E poi: quale, tra le molte italiane?)

otoliths books

These are the last two books out from Otoliths:

grounds
by
harry k stammer

148 pages
Otoliths, 2013
ISBN: 978-0-9872010-8-9
URL: http://www.lulu.com/shop/harry-k-stammer/grounds/paperback/product-21042156.html

harry k stammer’s new book, grounds, is a sequel to his previous book tents. It continues to dig deeper into the realm of a homeless person’s mind as he/she lives in downtown Los Angeles. As Philip Primeau, of PERSISTENCIA, said of tents, “stammer mixes a sort of poetic cubism with wordplay, startling typography, and a wide array of other adventurous techniques with creative intensity rarely witnessed.” This book uses imagery and meaning to describe the various illnesses that afflict the homeless.

The Codicils
by
Mark Young

600 pages
Otoliths, 2013
ISBN: 978-0-9872010-9-6
URL: http://www.lulu.com/shop/mark-young/the-codicils/paperback/product-21152101.html

The Codicils is actually a number of new books, nine at least, collected into a single brick, covering Mark Young’s poetry from the four years since the publication of Pelican Dreaming: Poems 1959-2008. It revisits some familiar themes — Magritte, geographies, that peripatectic Postman — but it also brings in a number of new streams & memes, & includes an essay by the poet on the universality of the stochastic methodology that lies behind his poetic canon.

§

The journal will continue on, & print copies of the three most recent issues, twenty-eight to thirty, are now available from The Otoliths Storefront where the full catalog of Otoliths books & issues of the journal can also be found.
