You saw it here first. I got interested in things that looked like writing. I took a lot of photos, like this one of insect tunnels under the bark on a fallen tree that I called "cursive." It's in vogue now among poets as "asemic writing"-- writing without a meaning content. I once challenged a poetry workshop to write a poem without any meaning. The results of that were interesting, too.

If it worked, I imagine some meaning leaked out.
ReplyDeleteI think the problem is meaning leaking (italics) in. Maybe Tristan Tzara has come close. Norman H. Pritchard's "Junt"? The Oulipo movement,which Mickie brought to my attention this year? For me, the most interesting process is to jerk the rug out from under meanings as they occur and see where we re left. (I'm admittedly infatuated with weird exercises.)
