Many AF2 readers are aware visual poet Kristine Snodgrass is currently working with asemic tattoos and body art, generating fascinating documentation that can be found at a number of online venues. Snodgrass discussed this art extensively (along with her femsemic theory) in her recent AF2 interview. If you somehow missed it, I strongly recommend you take a look:

Snodgrass has recently completed asemic body art collabs with Colin J. Rae & Jay Snodgrass, among others.
As a continuation of the tatasemic narrative, I am thrilled to have obtained permission to share these collabs where Kristine Snodgrass is the foundation for the distinctive calligraphic style of New England visual poet Karla Van Vliet.
Van Vliet is also no stranger to AF2. Among other material, I was thrilled to be able to report on the success of her book She Speaks Tongues (Anhinga 2021)

Deepest thanks to Karla Van Vliet and Kristine Snodgrass.
