"desemantized scribbles" : Image-Text Vispo Collabs for "asemous font too" by Jim Leftwich & John M. Bennett

 


Mail art collabs by Jim Leftwich & John M. Bennett


I am very pleased that Asemic Front 2 is able to share new collabs by Jim Leftwich (Roanoke, Virginia, USA) & John M. Bennett (Columbus, Ohio, USA). 

This material, as you can see from the written comments on the card below, was routed via snail between Leftwich & Bennett circa April 5 - 30, 2021, packaged in an envelope nearly as interesting on the outside as its contents. 

A tremendous amount of visual poetry & asemic writing/art is currently circulating in the Eternal Network, not unexpected since public interest in asemics only seems to be growing. Documenting this material can help the effort to trace a history of marginalized poetries. 

The Jim Leftwich holdings in the M-L Archives are becoming a collection of significance. I've stated a commitment to sharing relevant material with the AF2 audience since work by Leftwich & Bennett is intrinsically tied to the project. 

Deepest thanks for this new mail art!
