Between October 1963 and October 1967, Christian Dotremont published seven issues of a French speaking journal called Strates. The journal marks the editorial activity that witnessed the birth of logograms and provides a theoretical framework for the poet to pursue his experimental research on writing and layout. The journal includes numerous collaborations with writers such as Frédéric Baal, Paul Bourgoignie, André du Bouchet, Pol Bury, Jacques Calonne, Camille Joffroy, Cornelis Kieft, Louis Scutenaire, Michel Butor and Max Loreau, and artists such as Pierre Alechinsky, Henri Silberschatz, James Thurber, Bent Irve, Rune Jansson, Asger Jorn and Reinhoud d'Haese. The nature of this journal is fundamentally experimental as it challenges the readability of the text through abrupt cuts, typographical shifts or the mixing and superimposition of languages É
