The hardback of Elegy Owed is nominated for the 2014 National Book Critic's Circle Award! Winner announced in March 2014. Bob Hicok is considered one of the most prolific poets writing today, publishing hundreds of poems in a wide variety of magazines, including The New Yorker, Poetry, and The American Poetry Review Hicok has a dual appeal: He once owned his own automotive die design company, so has a real-world perspective and diction. Today he works in academia, though he has no academic degree.

Hicok's books are consistently well reviewed, including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Boston Review
