DescriptionBob Hicok is a spectrum... Id love to see an MRI of his brain while hes writing, as the neurons show us whats possible, how a human can be a thought leader, taking us into the future... Hicok interrogates the world with mercy and wit and style and intelligence and modest swag. Hes one of Americas favorites--and to make the reader want to share the poets reality fulfills poetrys finest aspiration. --Washington Independent Review of Books In his ninth collection, Hicok navigates a world bereft of empathy and kindness, leading by example with a charm and emotional intelligence that speaks to a deep insight into the human condition... Mixing cleverness with tenderness, Hicok demonstrates how to be a beacon of light in the darkest of settings. --Publishers WeeklyBob Hicoks tenth collection of poetry, Hold, moves nimbly between childlike revelry and serious introspection. While confronting the rampant hypocrisies of the American collective unconscious, Hicok is guided by his deep and tender sense of whimsy and humility. Pointing to the natural world as a mirror through which to rediscover human beauty, he pauses to unapologetically celebrate the wonder of living at all.From About the size of it: . . . my breathshuttling in and out, as if it cant decide between stay and go, the little birdlong gone by the time I realizethe sun has set and it will soon feellike my father was never here, which is no big dealcompared to the erasures the world enduresand offers every day, except this one is mineBob Hicok teaches at Virginia Tech University and is the author of ten collections, including Animal Soul, This Clumsy Living, Elegy Owed, and Sex & Love &.
