Artefacts by O Mayeux, a book of asemic poetry, being read by 2 Minneapolis poets Terry Folz & Jeff Hansen at a poetry reading!


"This is my first modeling gig. I found it rewarding and remunerative. If any other presses would like me to model for them, I would be interested in hearing from you. PM on Facebook would be fine. But seriously, this is quite a book. It mashes together all the poems O Mayeux had written through a couple computer programs. They come out as letters piled on one another and, on virtually every page, some normative words. Congratulations O Mayeux and Michael Jacobson on this one."
--Jeff Hansen

On 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.
Author biography
O Mayeux (http://4f4d.xyz/) is an artist and linguist.
