About Artefacts:
In January 2017, O Mayeux wrote a computer program to dismantle all the poetry he has ever written, to tear it apart at its seams, to stitch its syntax into itself. What remains are these Artefacts, a cycle of asemic poetry. The abstract erotic narrative threaded through these poems is a delicate lament for the fragility of semantics, a tale of how we all remain unreadable to each other.
O Mayeux (http://4f4d.xyz/) is an artist and linguist. Artefacts is his first book.
"Mayeux here takes the bits and pieces, the scraps and refuse of language, the smallest particles, and re-knits them into a unspeakable song, Language clamors and yawps, mutters and sighs a new poetry, a choir of difference, a harmony of letterforms.” — derek beaulieu
'Through
disappointment comes clarity. From clarity comes conviction. And thus,
from conviction, arises opacity, again, inescapable, overlapping, murky.
This beautiful work, Artefacts, is a testament to life, through poetry,
the way it actually is. Broken, eclipsing itself, beautiful, made of
older pieces, physical, disfigured. Showing there can be no real clarity
in language art, just a pristine fracture.'
— SJ Fowler
