The House of Grand Farewells Bob Heman

Poetry. Collage. At the end of THE HOUSE OF GRAND FAREWELLS, Bob Heman explains the methodology he used in creating these marvelous prose poems. The random discovery of words that 'caught his imagination' in a particular book allowed Bob to embrace the Bretonian surrealist vision of 'Objective Chance.' Words (or objects) that we happen upon embody our hidden desires and our connection to the Universal Unconscious. That being said, THE HOUSE OF GRAND FAREWELLS is not about literary history; it is the chance, in each prose poem, to take a delightful trip to a place we have never seen before.--Lawrence R. Smith
