Description
The Excanto by Nicolas Williams is a non-linear narrative poetry collection that weaves together interlinked sequences to form a unique and immersive experience. Each poem speaks its own voice, drawing from various styles including shamanic magic realism, brutal realism, urban, and otherworldly themes. This edition of The Excanto features the poet's preferred version, which encompasses the scope of all four volumes in a single work. It is a journey that explores the world on the edge of collapse, with the poet seeking to exorcise, spell cast, chant, and save it through their words. The book includes the earliest versions of the first four sequences at the back, offering a glimpse into the poet's creative process and the evolution of their work.
