Here is Tim Gaze's new book Kernels. I let his art writing speak for itself. Tim has a style of writing similar to a Rorchache test or a spontaneous delivery of some remnant of Michaux's botanical awareness. I wasn't aware of Michaux's calligraphy till I first made contact with Tim in 2005. The first discovery I made of Henri M. was probably at a Half Price bookstore here in Minnesota. I knew of him as a barbarian in Asia and as someone involved with the Surrealists and an experimenter with illegal herbal remedies. He is the primary catalyst for the international asemic movement a few of us enjoy today. I actually like his interior gestures more than his verbal writing. But he blazed so many trails in the advancement of literature that I refer to him as the "Godsfather" of asemic writing, even though I am only vaguely knowledgeable about his personal spiritual practices. I have a few of his books. This is a good one to start with,

Here is Asemic Magazine, Tim's attempt to document and unite artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and the bereaucracy that feeds on them into a basis and foundation for 21st Century literary practices.
