Nkandsntli: 'Prfand Nld'

By Clive Alando Taylor

(INCANDESCENTLY) NKANDSNTLI 'Prfand Nld', Is an original collection of heartfelt theoretical and poetic themes, designed to make you think just about any and everything, through the philosophical exploration of poetry, songs and personal statements, composed in the art-form and learned words of expressions, in both sharing and relaying such profoundly emotional, beyond the intensely state of one’s own unique awareness within a very challenging and changing experiential environment of subjective insightful observations.

Clive Alando Taylor

As a young boy at school, I always found myself playing with words & rhymes especially when it came to writing poetry, it wasn't the fact that I was especially gifted or talented but it was mainly my enthusiasm, and style & ability to be creative with words and rhyme in my own unique way, although in this day and age some may regard this as a small degree of autism but I’m not quite certain about that, as many of my peers could be just as challenging and inventive about writing prose. When I left school at the age of 16 I attended dance school and was as far removed from literature as anyone could possibly be, but I always kept a diary and also decided to study English Language part time. During break time and in between classes once again I would find myself writing & exploring various themes using rap, rhyme and spoken word to amuse myself and my fellow classmates with. At that time I didn't take it too seriously but I loved the fact that through expression along with the effect of creative writing was becoming an inspiration to me as well as a positive tool for expression.
