Dear Macro,

I welcome your micro texts, Puns and principles for me to interpret; Lexis and syntax sited, selected, sorted According to the formal attributes you draw. Eighteen pages will devolve and evolve. "Drawing as strip tease undressing the space." Text to tease your proverbs into parallel thoughts, Unraveling each fragment, combining each strand. Best wishes, Linda

Dear Linda, It is not chaos; it is a new order. I love our labyrinth: air map, hair mop. I offer micro texts. Our rules are hidden. Risk is trust. Our friendship is dazzling. Macro Dear Marco, Then we agree. Your texts are my armatures. I will serve as their annotator and respect their measure.

Macro Dear Marco, Then we agree. Your texts are my armatures. I will serve as their annotator and respect their measure. I will be the modulator of their frequencies. Your admiring friend, Linda Dear Patti, Micromarko and I have a plan for CAJ. We propose to set our course parallel to his drawing process, vanishing into and emerging from emptiness. We will conduct a "stereodialogue." Linda Dear Linda/Marco, I want CAJ readers to encounter your hybridity. Open engagement is an editor's dream. Patti

Maggi's attunements track the eco concepts named by Gala, Gaia, Geb, Galal, and the Egyptian and Semitic gods of the earth. They guide these drawings and this collaboration--geomantrically.

Dear Reader: Marco Maggi's hand is nomadic. It accepts all contingencies, tracing paths whose sources and destinations reside beyond known peripheries, devolving to and evolving from originating marks. His pencil resists conceding to such stifling And controlling agencies of the spirit as mathematics, iconographies, nationalisms, rationalisms. His sculptures and drawings mature in fertile mediums of his own devising. Maggi's attunements track the eco concepts named by Gala, Gaia, Geb, Galal, and the Egyptian and Semitic gods of the earth.
