The mail art exchange continues. If you are at the receiving end you might get a concrete poem in a hand-painted letter, which might also end up as an animation.

Reading these generative poems is an interesting challenge. It's not a real language or a conlang, but might resemble some Indoeuropean hybrid. Words behave as noun-like or verb-like, some clearly have the function of prepositions, articles, or pronouns. There appears to be inclinations and some loose sense of grammar, but still I have no clue what any of it means! It's like the recent phonetic research of whale utterings. Pronounciation is far from obvious, since the words might be interpreted as belonging to some existing language, or rather different languages for each word. But there are ways to mispronounciate the words, as if speaking with an accent.
