Publisher Description: The most potent ingredient in virtually every one of Bob Hicok's compact, well-turned poems is a laughter as old as humanity itself.--The New York Times Book Review Hicok's poems are like boomerangs; they jut out in wild, associative directions, yet find their way back to the root of the matter, often in sincere and heartbreaking ways.--Publishers Weekly In Sex & Love &, Bob Hicok attempts the impossible task of confronting love and its consequences, in which everything is allowed, minus forever. Switching gracefully between witty confessions and blunt confrontations, Hicok muses on age, distance, secret messages, and, of course, sex. Throughout, poetry is discovered to be among our most effective tools to examine the delirium of making contact. Hot: The sexiest thing a woman has ever done Bob Hicok's poems have appeared in the New Yorker, Poetry, and the American Poetry Review. His books have been awarded the Bobbitt Prize from the Library of Congress and named a Notable Book of the Year by Booklist. Hicok has worked as an automotive die designer and a computer system administrator. He is currently teaching at Purdue University. |
