Hicok's poems just plain rock. They rock because they are gorgeous. They rock because they are sad and turn on the radio. They dance our 'clumsy living' with our shadows and our isolations to a music that always, always remembers the original delight in which 'the feel of things, if [we] cherish, helps [us] live \/ more like a minute than a clock.'\"--Beckian Fritz Goldberg\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBob Hicok\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of English at Virginia Tech University.
