Supercontemplations


Book Description

SUPERCONTEMPLATIONS signifies a creative advance on the lower-case volume of abstract poetry entitled 'Contemplations' (1985), in that it combines upper- and lower-case monosyllabic words in the process of creating patterned entities which, whatever their subliminal message, require only to be contemplated, and are thus akin to a mode of 'word art', the only difference being that these 'poems' were created with a word-processing program rather than with a paint program involving characters.




The Magickers Chronicles: Volume One


Book Description

Long ago, a war was fought between two opposing groups of magic practitioners-the Magickers, who believed in using magic for the general good, and the Dark Hand, who felt that magic belonged to them and should only be used for their own benefit. Now the Magickers are looking for young recruits to their cause-for the final battle will soon begin...




Contemplative Abstracts


Book Description

CONTEMPLATIVE ABSTRACTS is the logical sequel to 'Abstacts' (1983) which, being readerly, or capable of being read, was non-contemplative and therefore a precondition of abstract poems that require only to be contemplated, since effectively a species of word art. The five books in this project represent different stages in John O'Loughlin's development of a non-readerly, or contemplative, style of poetic composition, and have also been published separately under the headings 'Contemplations' (1985), 'Supercontemplations' (1993) and 'Ultracontemplations' (1994), the first of these being in three books and therefore containing the greater percentage of the material now available in one volume, as the collected contemplative abstract poems.
