Hold by Bob Hicok

3.0

I've always been a huge Hicok fan, but this collection did not hit as hard as his work usually does. The first half of poems were great, but something happened in the second half of the book that totally turned me off. The political poems weren't poetry, just word vomit. Hicok and I even agree on most issues, but the poems were so lazy why even write them? Here's an example of what I can't believe even made it to print:

"I don't think it's my biz whether my jizz ultimately becomes a tot or not"

Just no.
