Like 'Contemplations' (1985) and 'Supercontemplations' (1993), this volume of poetic word art, which bears the title ULTRACONTEMPLATIONS, requires only to be contemplated, since it is composed of patterned upper-case entities which, when they are not in mirror reverse perspective, are all different and all equally suggestive of a variety of insights which arguably owe more to art than to poetry.

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.

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.
It's Abstraction, Concretely

Download and read online ebook It's Abstraction, Concretely write by John McGreal. This book was released on 2017-02-21. It's Abstraction, Concretely available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. John McGreal's three new books – It’s Abstraction, Concretely, It’s Figuration, Groundly and It’s Representation, Really – continue the ‘It’ Series published by Matador since 2010. They constitute another stage in an artistic journey exploring the visual and audial dialectic of mark, word and image that began over 25 years ago. Emerging out of the first books on the Bibliograph published in 2016, initiated with It’s Nothing, Seriously, these new texts retain some of the same structural features. The Bibliographs contain the same focus on repetition and variation in meaning of their dominant motifs of representation, abstraction and figuration which have framed philosophical discourse on epistemology and ontology in aesthetics; their chance placement in each Bibliograph interspersed with one another displaying and enhancing similarities and differences. At the same time these works constitute a development in the aesthetic form of the Bibliograph. In earlier works on Nothing, Absence and Silence, it was just a question of finding and transferring given textual references from their source to construct their Bibliographs, with the focus being on the strategic position of the latter within each book. In these new works, the concern has been with working on the line and shape of the references themselves, with their enhanced spacial form as well as that of each Bibliograph as a whole. In shaping and spacing the referential images, the place of words and letters became as important as their semantic & syntactical role. Expansion and contraction of whole words was used to enhance this process. Under such detailed attention their breakdown into particles of language, into part-words and single letters was a result. The recombination of elements produced new words in a process of restrangement with new sequences of letters having visual rather than semantic value. The play on prefixes of dominant motifs yielded new words as did tmesis. This concern with the form of referential images does not preclude an equal commitment to their content. The aleatory character of textual entries in each Bibliograph encourage the reader to let his or her mind go; to read in a new way on diverse contemporary issues across conventional boundaries in the arts and sciences at several levels of physical, psychical and social reproduction.

Another and more structurally-advanced example of John O'Loughlin's non-readerly style of abstract poetry or, depending on your point of view, poetic word art and/or sculpture, 'Ultracontemplations' (1994) is comprised of some sixty-four 'poems' which have been entirely constructed with the use, along monosyllabic lines, of upper-case characters, thereby passing beyond the mixed-case style of 'Supercontemplations' (1993) and the lower-case absolutism of 'Contemplations' (1985) to what could be regarded as a conceptual plateau of poetic abstraction which, like its predecessors in the genre, only requires to be contemplated, as though it were a work of art – say, a biomorphic sculpture or abstract painting.
