Insomnia Diary by Bob Hicok
Bob Hicok's fluid ability to shift moods, the richness of his visual palette, and his idiosyncratic use of language fill these pages. His fourth book, Insomnia Diary is filled with Hicok's characteristic edgy, brazen, provocative, and meditative poems.-

Hicok is funny as hell, in Blake's sense of the infernal: irreverent, anarchic, undeceivedHis bracing Ill humor is a vehicle for outrage, longing, tenderness, and a sly cynicism that is the necessary counterbalance to a tenacious sense of hope. He is one of our premiere anatomists of contemporary American life, and a wildly refreshing, necessary poet. - Mark Doty; ""[Hicok] writes with an honest man's happy discontent.... His poems stand on that inconvenient ground where the absurd and romantic visions battle for the voice and transmit the full joyful and afflicted human creature. He is one of the finest poets to have emerged in the last ten years."" - Rodney Jones; ""The sophisticated jester of these soliloquies, dumbfounded by the simplicity and complexity of life, is on a hang glider headed straight for Olympus."" - Mary Ruefle
