‘Supercontemplations’ signifies a creative advance over the lower-case volume of abstract poetry entitled ‘Contemplations’ (1985), 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.
