Panther Cycles The Novel-length poetic diary of a love affair by The Romantic Poet of the Internet William F. DeVault |
 |
|
On July 18, 1995, a poet and humorist named William F. DeVault put heart to keyboard and wrote a selection of poems to a young woman whose picture had struck him. He called it The Panther Cycle, using a "totem" that they had agreed upon, to separate the woman from the works so as to protect her identity and lend a theme to the poems. It might have ended there, but the works took on a life of their own, and several days later the poet, during a period of reflection, wrote The Second Panther Cycle. Uh oh. Showing them at first to only a few close peers on America Online's storied Writers Club area, the works were passed around, and by the time of the third cycle, there was already an audience, waiting eagerly for the next phase of this poetic diary of an evolving love affair that would electrify readers the world over with the words of love, passion, infidelity, sorrow, anger and hope. Ninety three (93) Panther Cycles, over 640 poems, were finally written. |
On July 18, 2005, now known as the The Romantic Poet of the Internet, William F. DeVault brought to his fans and into the light for new readers, the authoritative edition of The Compleat Panther Cycles. With annotations by the author and introductions by fellow poets and individuals who lived in and through the emotional turbulence of their writing, this novel-length poetic diary of one troubled romance will be a coffee table book that shall be an instant must-have for fans of poetry, all true believers in the madness and beauty of love - and internet cultural observers. The author has since published seven other books, including 1997's PanthEon which was a 60 poem culling from the Panther Cycles and is being withdrawn from circulation the day before the full volume comes out, and has been acclaimed one of the leading voices of the "digital renaissance". |
