Yoik
A volume of poems, conveying a remarkable range of tone and reference, verbal dexterity, strong, muscular, visceral use of language, yet, at the same time, a softness. They range from seemingly rough-hewn dialect chat, to the myths and folklore of the Celts, the Native Americans or the Finns.

Yoik is brimming with imagery that rushes up from the past and fixes itself perfectly to the present.
Bob is an anthropological poet; unearthing the mythology secreted in the earth under our feet, and clothing them seamlessly in the language of the bards of yesteryear and today.
