Bob Hicok是几位诗歌系列的作者。他曾经在汽车模具行业工作过，拥有自己的业务，进步技术。他还教授密歇根大学和弗吉尼亚科技的创意写作。When asked by interviewer Laura McCullough about the relationship between restraint and revelation in his work, Hicok replied, “Because I don’t know where a poem is headed when I start, it seems that revelation has to play a central part in the poems, that what I’m most consistently doing is trying to understand why something is on my mind. . . . Maybe writing is nothing more than an inquiry into presences.”
