This collection of typoems was published as a chapbook for Petrichor no 29. Betancourt explains his asemic visual poetry this way: I once had an experience while driving behind a truck with a big logo painted on the back-large, gothic capitals-that simply refused to resolve into coherent lettering for me. There were letters there and I could recognize that the curves and uprights were text, but it refused to become coherent as lettering. Making typoetry is my attempt to explore that experience, to modulate the recognition of lettering without the need to always or consistently produce letters, words, or lexical statements.
