Building on notions such as \"wetness,\" \"streams,\" and \"currents,\" Wolfond constructs a linguistic universe in which writing and perception merge, move, and \"pace to gether\" - echoing both the togetherness of the senses and the gathering rhythms of water. \u003ci\u003eOpen Book in Ways of Water\u003c\/i\u003e is as much a book of poetry and a book about poetry, a self-reflection in an endlessly moving and transforming element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the author himself explains: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanguage is a way to understand each other but it is also reductive in the ways that it is abstracted and non-sensuous, and open writing as movement tends to be ignored as autistics are forced into neurotypical ways of seeing, and the thinking around artistic practices feels of a pace that intensifies the use of forms forming, and similarities with open processes are languaging the way of water, making language about artful relations with the more than human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater is a game of ways and patterns that wave and ripple and can pull us under, the talk is about surfacing but languaging is about feeling, moving the ways that it makes are having variances moving the thresholds in thinking feeling of a rally that comes from cutting the grammars out and that is the way of perception that is cut by grammar and people need art to dance this dance of relation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA man of autism answers the ways of the body much of the time and that means my body rallies the artful atmospheres that are dancing me and the real feeling can dance the atmospheres as my body presence and pace shifts other bodies to be free. Having a ticcing body is making the dance about disorder but really it is about a different and diverse way of languaging with many feelings and bathing and immersing and I don't have any other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Wolfond\u003c\/b\u003e is an autistic poet and artist who uses a device to speak. He is the youngest poet to be published at poets.org and has exhibited his film and installation work in Toronto, Canada. He is the co-founder of dis assembly in Toronto, an arts collective which practices techniques for neurodiversity. Languaging is a way of movement, a continual disassembly, challenging the way of neurotypical grammars for more diversities to come. His work can be viewed at adamwolfond.com and dis-assembly.ca.
