Rising- the dictionary states it is a sloping, upward, coming to maturity, growing, emerging, and the act of someone or somthing rising. I believe we as humans fall in this category throughout our life, from birth to death. Many changes transpire, we rise and we fall, we live a life in search of inner peace. Some of us search for this inner peace through many different medians, such as silent prayer, walks with nature, meditation, listening to instrumental music, reading scriptures in the Bible and or reading Poetry. When we read what someone else has written, and we can relate to it in someway, it helps to ease the pain of our sorrow. I have fashioned my writing of poetry in a way for others to relate to, focusing on writings about things we all share a commong bond with, which is life. Please let me invite you on a journey into a world I see. A world divided by love and hate, fantasy and reality, loves devotion and forbidden desire, the death of stars and unknown heroes, social interludes, the beauty of nature, childhood, motherhood, marriage and family, faith, peace and war through poetry.

With some fifty-four free-verse poems of variable length, this is John O'Loughlin's most substantial volume of poetry, which also happens to be his last in free verse, much of which is challengingly philosophical and even ideological, as per custom.

The CONTEMPLATIONS by John O'Loughlin are simply there to be contemplated, not read, and therefore each of the three volumes in this project approximates poetry to a species of word art, in the interests of a sense of self-transcendence, with, occasionally, intimations of something meaningfully profound.

Dating from 1984, this collection of 44 free-verse poems continues in the pro-philosophical style of 'Spiritual Intimations' (1983), albeit with greater metaphysical depth and insight such that includes the utilization of subatomic theories to get beneath the surface of corporeal existence.

Comprised of some thirty-four free-verse poems, this collection is noticeably freer than its predecessor, 'Stressing the Essential', and takes the author's ideological position a stage or two further along loosely poetic lines.

Similar to the 'Contemplations' in style, these 'supercontemplations' differ from the former only to the extent that the monosyllabic word groupings, usually amounting to some kind of pattern which requires only to be contemplated, are of mixed case rather than simply lower case and thus provide scope for more variety in the 'architectural' arrangement of the poems.

Unlike the so-called 'Supercontemplations' (1993) which involved the use of mixed-case monosyllabic word groupings to create a patterned impression, this subsequent volume, dating from 1994, uses upper-case monosyllabic words alone, and thus contrasts with the lower--case integrity of the three volumes of 'Contemplations' with which the author/artist began his abstract journey, a journey which comes to completion here, with some of his most interesting impressionistic patterns.

John O'Loughlin's first collection of poems dates from the early 1970s and reflects the transition from rural Surrey to urban London that he was living through at the time, to the extent that he eventually lost his taste for poetry and gravitated to literature and philosophy, both of which are paradoxically intimated of in the last two sections of this ebook.
