"and pretend her life is mine, that I've ceased wanting more than I'm prepared to understand and have nurtured revenge into elegant survival."

My favorite poem of all time is the last poem in this chapbook, "Other Lives and Dimensions and Finally a Love Poem." I'm not sure where I read it the first time, but shortly after I got as many of Hicok's chapbooks from my university library as I could and have read a good deal of his work. I enjoy what he writes a whole lot and the last two stanzas of Other Lives have made a deep and everlasting impact on me.
