The Great Book of Bob is a unified collection of humorous, soul-wrenching, and harshly honest tales and thoughts gleaned from a lifelong love story-stories of a poet's love of sunrises, poetic epiphanies, laughter, and for the soul mate of his life. And the best part about it, it's not some icky-sticky, lovey-poo bunch of hearts and flowers. It's hard-edged wonder and real reason for all of us to be glad to be alive. Robert Nichols tells his stories that we may each realize the significance of our own. He describes his work as: Stories and rants and impassioned blessings for the soul-the wild-eyed, bliss-bludgeoned decades of an American poet... And all of it in a book about you, Dear Reader. YOU!
