From An Unexpected Quarter

The Amomancer Rides Back In!

WFDV returns with an arsenal of words and images destined to be sure evidence that Western culture still has the capacity to re-invent itself, even on the frontier of the Digital Renaissance.

A collection of all new works, spun from the same emotional tapestries as his award-winning website, the City of Legends; from an unexpected quarter takes the reader on a quest for essence and resolution, passion and hope, drawing delightfully complex and eloquent images from the life that has already given us such classics as "the Goldenheart Cycles" and "Damascus".

The developer of the triskadelian canto and the 261 form, WFDV summons the same inner demons that made his first book, 1997's "PanthEon", a favourite with critics and readers around the world. From the cautionary title work to his "anamnesis" series, he demonstrates the same mastery of form, clarity of vision and integrity of passion that have made his works, in the words of Edgar Award Finalist Margaret Moseley, "candlelight read-alouds."
