Description:

There are some 360 'abstract poems' in this unusual project, which might better be described as 'word art', and they are of a character that defies intellectual intelligibility and invites a certain contemplative frame-of-mind more conducive to spirituality and, hence, to self-transcendence, meaning, in this instance, the transcendence of that fulcrum of intellect, the ego. In that sense, these 'poems' are profoundly anti-literary and correspondingly closer to the spirit of art.

Abstract poems or word art, the hundreds of poems in this project, divided into three volumes, are simply there to be contemplated, and therefore aim to deliver one, as far as possible, from the 'readerly' norms of conventional poetry, as of literature, and grant one a sense of ego-transcendence that may well constitute a mode of enlightenment, relatively speaking.
