''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.
