Mr O'Loughlin's one and only volume of abstract poems can be read (in the main) like an ordinary or mainstream volume of free verse, except that the verse is somewhat freer - and possibly lighter - than would normally qualify for poetry of that ilk. Nevertheless we believe it stops well short of being 'word art', even if some people might regard it as degenerate verse and therefore subversive of poetry, as normally understood by that term.
