Bob Hicok's Red Rover Red Rover is joyous and macabre, hopeful and morbid, caring and critical. These poems are apocalyptic in tone but tender in their depiction of dying animals, disappearing water, raging fires, and the humans to blame. He calls attention to the dire costs of modern conveniences and begs for our willingness to change. No subject is too high or low for his wide-sweeping gaze, a comfort with extremes that gives his work the quality of an embrace. Threads of humor, romance, and kindness suggest America's capacity to transcend the disastrous present: heaven's everywhere / someone needs a place to rest // and someone else says, / Come in. Hicok presents a high-stakes game of survival and connection.
