"Decompositions" by Jim Leftwich
I am pleased to officially announce the Asemic Front Project has obtained a large & very important collection of material by visual poet Jim Leftwich, widely considered a key figure in the asemic writing movement (although Leftwich made a very public break with the current movement some time ago).
The Asemic Front Project, after organizing & documenting the pieces, will make this trove of material available for inspection & research to all interested parties.
Asemic Front "insiders" have known of the existence of the Leftwich "decompositions" for many months. Much speculation & many rumors have circulated vis back channels. Reports of the alarming disappearance of the box, possibly a car theft or ransom situation, cannot be confirmed or denied.
The fact is that the "decompositions" were recovered & are now safe for posterity. At the same time, Jim Leftwich's departure from Virginia, USA, & his reported appearance at unusual locations across the United States has only fueled speculation concerning the "decompositions" & their whereabouts. We understand he is well & thriving.
Deepest thanks to Jim Leftwich.
