Canto Number Three
By Fa Poonvoralak
Writing is an act of play, a dance with words in myriad forms. While a novel relies on the complex architecture of characters, settings, and arcs, there exists a form of writing that finds its power in the absolute simplicity of just three lines.
This is the Canto.
A Canto strikes the reader in three distinct beats, creating a resonance that vibrates long after the final word. It is a tremor of the mind that begins on the page but finds no definitive end. The Cantos of Fa Poonvoralak are precisely that: brief, percussive, and profoundly shattering.
Selected Excerpts
"...The one
who can deceive the longest
wins..."
"...Life
is quieter
and slower than reality..."
— From Canto Number Three

From the Preface
"For me, life is something beyond definition—unpredictable and a constant gamble. In everything gained, something is also lost. Life, therefore, is a contradiction, and so it shall remain forever."
