"decompositions" by Jim Leftwich (courtesy of Asemic Front Archives)
Among many treasures in the Asemic Front Project's "The Jim Leftwich File" is this complete and unpublished visual poetry collection - "decompositions" - made by Leftwich in 2006. I believe it can be fairly considered a single long piece.
A decaying alphabet, a post-Lettrist impulse in vispo and post-literature on the horizon are issues of great relevance in the vispo community today. This manuscript should be made accessible. Additionally, "Deconstructive Asemics" has become a part of the AF2 "brand." This manuscript offers vital and highly original conceptual and material language deconstructions.
The "decompositions" manuscript is approximately 100 (awaiting final official count) index cards as shown in this post. I am currently organizing the work and will gather further documentation from Leftwich himself. I am very interested in the collection's structure at this point.
