These abstract poems, which John O'Loughlin prefers to call 'superpoems' and tends to regard as a species of poetic word art if not sculpture with a quasi-biomorphic twist, aren't intended to be read but simply ... contemplated. They are not concerned with the expression of a literary sentiment, ideal, or opinion, but solely with the creation of a poetic impression. Thus they are purely abstract and intimate, no matter how simply or humbly, of a divine prospect, a truly transcendent order. For ordered they assuredly are, and this is what elevates them above the merely anarchic status of expressionistic abstraction. - A Centretruths editorial
