Spells for the Wicked

<p>Marc Vincenz's poetry collection Spells for the Wicked is a verbal extravaganza and poetic grimoire travelling widely across galaxies and into the intricacies of imagination. It invokes quixotic sometimes mysterious notions associated with human belief and understanding. It revels in a plethora of bewitching narratives incantations and contemporary reimaginings of history as it riffs suggestively and subversively on connections between the modern world ancient cultures and philosophical traditions. Characterised by a remarkable sonic playfulness Spells for the Wicked invites the reader to relish language as a series of transformative forays into a unique and quintessentially twenty-first century form of the poetic art.</p><p>--Paul Hetherington</p>
