She Speaks Tongues: Poems Asemic Writing

By Karla Van Vliet

She Speaks Tongues is a collection of the rising voices of five women, from silence (her image, ) to gesture, to word. Each section starts with a woman's portrait and follows with her unique rising voice in asemic writing, and to word through poem. Asemic writing inhabits an essential space of expression, depicting what is not yet fully denotational. It embraces the mystery between silence, what is yet to be spoken, and the semantics of known language. What is represented are the feelings or ideas that the word, or markings, suggests, to the speaker, and to the viewer.
