Poetry

John V. Hicks assembled Sticks and Strings with the same precise and artful style given all his poetry.
Called the greatest Canadian lyrical poet of the last fifty years, Hicks was for most of his life better known and admired on the international writing stage than he was in Canada. A prolific writer with a master’s tome of perfect poems, Sticks and Strings allows those who would write poetry the opportunity to study how the measure and leap of line is bound to both inspiration and intellect, and those who love to read poetry the opportunity to witness the classic, ancient art of literature put to modern practice.
