Come Hear Bob Hicok Read his Poetry!
“The most potent ingredient in virtually every one of Bob Hicok's compact, well-turned poems is a laughter as old as humanity itself, a sweet waggery that suggests there's almost no problem that can't be solved by this poet's gentle humor.” —NYT Book Review
Bob Hicok comes all the way from Virginia to Katonah to read his poetry! Never been to a poetry reading? Think of it as a one-man show--part memoir, part food for thought, part music from the heart.
Hicok spent seventeen years as an automotive die designer and then business owner, before teaching creative writing at Virginia Tech. So, no wonder his poetry is so... riveting. Bob Hicok has written eight collections of poetry, and he has received five Pushcart Prizes, a Guggenheim, and two NEA Fellowships. His poetry has also been included in eight volumes of The Best American Poetry and his collection This Clumsy Living won the Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry from the Library of Congress.
