Are you a lover of lyrical verse with an edgy twist?   

For those who appreciate the creative brilliance of a true poet, Lonnie Hicks’ unique and thought-provoking collection, Politics Poetry and Love: Survival Tools and Hard Truths – Essays, Story-Plays and Poems from the Progressive Side, will inspire even the most cynical of souls.   

An intelligent anthology, Hicks gets to the gist of controversial and modern-day issues such as the environment, politics, the poetic craft and relationships.  His voice rings true with the stories and renderings of his own experiences and of those he has interviewed, from all walks of life, and from all over the world. 

Hicks’ experience in the business world coupled with his 20 years as a writer and poet results in an emotional, authentic, and masterful collection of hard truths and insightful musings from varied points of view. 

These first-person narratives will resonate with anyone seeking insights into the thoughts and dilemmas of real people as we enter the Obama Age. Timely, sometimes startling, ideas emerge from his pages.  Hicks expertly captures these intense emotions, grapples in his terse prose, with human and world problems, and brings the reader to unexpected revelations about life, politics and this emerging Obama age, as seen through the eyes of his collaborators.
