Contemplations [EPUB ebook] 

This title is comprised of three books of so-called ‘abstract poems’ which might better be described as ‘word art’, since 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 supersession of that fulcrum of intellect known as the ego. In that sense, these ‘poems’ are profoundly anti-literary and correspondingly closer to the true spirit of art, as, we believe, is the cover to this voluminous e Book whose forms are appropriately metaphysical in their abstract remove from concrete intelligibility.
