Welcome to the POETRY of
FROM
EARTH TO SKY
The Collected
Poems - ‘Concrete’ and ‘Abstract’ - of John O’Loughlin
Hyperlinks to the files of which follow the brief
introduction below:-
This substantial
compilation of my complete poetical works combines readerly with non-readerly
poems in what, in general terms, I like to think of as a distinction between
‘concrete’ and ‘abstract’ approaches to poetry, the former being, with one
exception, either rhymed or in free verse; the latter, by contrast, either in
free verse of an abstract - if just readerly (i.e. that can be read) - order
or, like the Contemplations, in
patterned and often block-like arrangements which require only to be
contemplated (hence the title). Thus
there is quite a contrast not only between the two types of readerly poetry,
but between them and the two types of abstract poetry, neither of which owes
very much to the other, even though there is a general progression, on both
sides, from rhymed to non-rhymed poetry and from ‘readerly’ abstracts to pure
abstracts such that defy reading as a vehicle for comprehension, irrespective
of the fact that some form of comprehension is still possible on a purely or
largely contemplative basis. Thus there
is also an overall progression, in this compilation of my poetry, from rhymed
readerly poems to non-readerly abstract poems that are yet the product of
careful structuring and not at all arbitrary or anarchic, some of which even
intimate of meaning through what appear to be rhyme-like juxtapositions of key
words. – John O’Loughlin.
