Unlucky Lucky Tales contains three books of Grandbois's prose poetry: Unlucky Lucky Days, Unlucky Lucky People, and Unlucky Lucky Books. Like Zen koans, these brief pieces playfully short-circuit the brain to bypass normal thought and open the mind to undiscovered worlds of perception. As the human organism responds inexplicably to music, to particular combination of notes of varying pitches and durations and the intervals of silence between them, so too it responds in profound yet ultimately incomprehensible ways to the absurd, twisted language of Grandbois's poetry.
