    "The Seagull's Alphabet" by Geof Huth (New York City) (August 2025)  (Image courtesy of the poet) "The Seagull's Alphabet" & Other Recent Eco-Asemics  & Object Poems by Geof Huth by De Villo Sloan These days writing about esoteric abstractions such as metasmics and patasemics makes it easy for me to forget my first serious asemic theory  to receive attention in our broader community was my writing about eco-asemics: https://asemicfront2.blogspot.com/2024/08/af2-commentary-eco-asemics-revised-by.html When Peter Schwenger was doing the research for his book  Asemic: The Art of Writing  (2019), he contacted me about some of my blog posts where Nancy Bell Scott (Maine, USA) and I had traded tree bark as mail art and called it asemic. Both she and I had been involved in some extensive online discussions about identifying asemic symbols in nature as well as in found material generated by humans.  https://www.amazon.com/Asemic-Art-Writing-Pet...
