Cover art by Carol Es, 'Wrong Mom, ' oil on canvas. Cover design by Ann Walston. keywords: American Literature Poetry. DESCRIPTION-'At his best, [Hicok] has always fused deeply wounded moments of pathos with an oddly welcome levity, much like everybody's favorite uncle who's never afraid to tell a good joke at a funeral, even if it's his wife lying in the casket. And the same can be said of 'This Clumsy Living', perhaps Hicok's most obscure and mature book to date. Most notably, and with a heightened political consciousness in tow, these poems meditate on the tyranny of the human condition in the early twenty-first century. '--Barn Owl Review. inventory #40606.
