Description:

SUPERCONTEMPLATIONS signifies a creative advance on the earlier volume of abstract poetry entitled 'Contemplations', 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.

Following on from CONTEMPLATIONS (1985), this later project, dating from 1993,aimed to overhaul the lower-case absolutism of its predecessor with a combination of upper- and lower-case monosyllabic words that retain both a sense of grammatical meaninglessness and intimate, no matter how imperfectly, of transcendence of the intellect within a framework that is nonetheless conditioned by a formal pattern with a view to assisting in the possibility of some degree of enlightenment.
