Considering language, what of the marks on these pages? Looks like language – but doesn't smell or taste like it. Pre-words? Post-words? They are un-words, they resist wording. Their language is non-historical: with every reading you start from zero.
Still, these are not private, incommunicable, unsignifiable, non-suggestive, indecipherable gestures. Visual linguistics are a shared trait. You see a chair in a cloud, I see a chair. We communicate. Yet it doesn't mean there's a chair in the cloud. You see a chair, I see a pigeon, still there's nothing to argue over. A cloud is still a cloud.

"A New Breed of Asemic Architecture" On opening Morpheme Pages I was immediately captured by the form of the text--its trans-linguistic syntax--its formless structure. Rosaire has created a place for these seemingly contradictions to converse & become something greater & whole. I began to 'read' the pages as if they were fragments of some long lost civilization, or some future scrawls laid out as plans of a new ruptured visual dialogue. This book is the asemic architecture of the now, endless, beautiful, & free. I highly recomend this book to those new & old to asemic writing.
