editorial:–
The sixteen
prose poems in this collection should be ideally suited to those who
prefer
their poetry prosy and mainly concerned with philosophical issues or,
at any
rate, with a philosophical treatment of issues and subjects that could
be treated
more frivolously if one lacked the intellectual machinery and moral
insight
with which to tackle them in this way. I
suspect that John O’Loughlin’s first
attempt at prose
poems, back in Dosshouse Blues
(1973–5),
was more poetically frivolous than is to be found here; though that
would be in
keeping with his work of the period. Ten
years later and the results are far more interesting, with perhaps a
hint of Baudelairian influence here and
there, albeit without
conscious intention on his part. However
that may be, these prose poems are not essays, whatever appearances
might
suggest to the contrary, but painstakingly contrived pieces which never
part
company with the context in which they were conceived. – A Centretruths
