R.I.P. Peter Ganick 1947-2020
We're very sad to report the following news about Peter Ganick, a long time artist, volunteer and supporter of our organization. Rest in Peace Peter.
:
Peter Ganick, 73, of West Hartford, passed away on April 16 at Saint Francis Hospital following an extended illness. Before retirement, he taught classical piano in the Greater Hartford area and was founder and editor of a small non-profit publishing company, Poets and Poets Press. A prolific avant-guard writer and artist, much of his writing is part of a collection at the University of Connecticut and his more recent artwork is at Ohio State University. Much of his artwork and some recent poems can be seen on Instagram at ganicoto1. He was a devoted member and volunteer at the West Hartford Art League. His wife of 38 years, Carol Ganick, has established a memorial fund in his name. Donations to the fund may be sent to the West Hartford Art League, 37 Buena Vista, West Hartford, CT 06107

Post-Asemic Press has a new primary Wordpress site!
Check it out here: https://postasemicpress.wordpress.com/
The Post-Asemic Press blog was getting a little overcrowded, so I went ahead and built out the new Wordpress site yesterday. This will make the books stand out more so they don't get lost in the clutter. Asemic writing is still the primary focus of PAP but I do have some experimental poetry projects in the works: Code Poems 2010-2019 by Francesco Aprile, and Hei Kuu by Michael Jacobson. These 2 projects fit in to the "poetry" category. But the next book to drop from PAP is GLITCHASEMICS by Marco Giovenale. This book is a one-of-a-kind romp through glitch art and asemics and will take asemic writing/publishing to a whole new experience. So check out the new website, and pick up an asemic book if you are able to!
