Starting with Pear in a Bowl: A Whimsical Series, Heath takes us through a bizarre escapade of silly and strange poems written during his early years.

The compilation wraps up with a short series of sappy love poems never published before. This book also includes new sketches and artwork by the author, including a new full colour cover art.

These poems speak to us with voices borrowed from the pages of novels of Alice Walker, Jean Toomer, and Toni Morrison -- voices that still have more to say, things to discuss. Each struggles beneath a yoke of dreaming, loving, and suffering. These characters converse not just with the reader but also with each other, talking amongst themselves, offering up their secrets and hard-won words of wisdom, an everlasting conversation through which these poems voice a shared human experience.
