An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is the first book-length
publication to collect the work of a community of writers on the
edges of illegibility. Asemic writing is a galaxy-sized style of
writing, which is everywhere yet remains largely unknown. For human
observers, asemic writing may appear as lightning from a storm, a
crack in the sidewalk, or the tail of a comet. But despite these
observations, asemic writing is not everything: it is just an
essential component, a newborn supernova dropped from a
calligrapher's hand. Asemic writing is simultaneously communicating
with the past and the future of writing, from the earliest
undeciphered writing systems to the xenolinguistics of the stars;
it follows a peregrination from the preliterate, beyond the verbal,
finally ending in a postliterate condition in which visual language
has superseded words. An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is
compiled and edited by Tim Gaze from Asemic magazine and Michael
Jacobson from The New Post-Literate blog. Contributors include:
