The Combustion Cycle

Will Alexander

Will Alexander’s The Combustion Cycle – a full 614 pages – focuses the reader’s attention on civilizations, geographies, and celestial objects ignored or rejected by mainstream world cultures. Not merely a regional articulation but in global resonance, Alexander’s magnum opus aligns regions from Patagonia to the northern polar wastes, to western Africa in an inner technology of burning external to the Occidental machinery with its built-in limits.

The Combustion Cycle erupts from an intuitive seed that coalesces with the grief and grievance of forgotten cultures. Less a sudden lightning-like insight than a protracted seepage that gathers over time into a deluge of language, springing from unknown genetic powers to encounter Alexander’s curious tributaries of the imagination. The Combustion Cycle explores the author’s “protracted lingual voltage.”
