Fluency

<p>Asemic writing is a wordless form of writing an art form offering an impression or abstraction of conventional physical writing. In <em>Fluency</em> we see a union of Karla Van Vliet's lifelong practices of art and poetry each dissolving into the other and resurfacing as asemic writing in full flower. Here are thirty-seven images thirty-seven pieces of literary expression that extend far beyond literary convention accompanied by Van Vliet's personal insights and remarks. In her words: There are times when I do not have words. Yet I have the need and desire to write. It is to asemic writing that I turn in these moments. To the gesture of writing. . . . In the branching tree limbs in the waves in my hand's scratching across paper we each read the feeling that rises in us.</p>
