Poetry. If you are new to surrealism, do not look for temporal narratives, grammatical English constructs, or linear development in FRAGMENTS FROM A GONE WORLD. Rather find a quiet chair alone, kick back, and let these images diffuse, expand, pulse, explode, rebound, rattle, resonate, sizzle, soar, and fizz in your resting consciousness... or receptive unconsciousness. The result you will find is haunting, mystical, otherworldly, and...I have found...very vividly transporting. No two of you will have a similar experience, but all will be charged with a desire to remember and speak of the journey inward. --Slade Schuster
