How does your work first enter the world? Do you have a social group or writers group that you work ideas and poems with?
This is a big YES. I started my journey in asemics by joining groups like Michael Jacobson’s The New Post-Literate and connecting with people there. I knew a few folks since my husband is an avid asemicist. Facebook has been a great place (can you believe it?) for me to connect with like-minded people who are practicing now. In that light, I started a group, Women Asemic Artists and Visual Poets (WAAVe Global) and it has been a real source of inspiration and joy. I always post new work—pretty much daily—and that helps me to stay connected to what is going on and get feedback and also hang with friends! De Villo Sloan has been a big influence and supporter of mine for a while. He has really encouraged me to keep going and I value his feedback on my work. And, I am always inspired by what others (especially the women) are doing. I am just starting to get into Twitter. I am working on sharing there, too.
