The poems of Residual Gleam speak of obsolete roosters and eccentric philosophers, of moth-eaten overcoats, of alcoholic raconteurs in long-gone public bars, of lost needles and Orkney kirkyards and out-of-tune pianos . . .
Residual Gleam includes a sampling of Hickin’s translations of the Nicaraguan poets Joaquin Pasos, Carlos Martinez Rivas, Ernesto Cardenal, and Blanca Castellon, along with the Chileans Juan Cameron and Sergio Badilla Castillo, and Mexican/New Zealand poet Rogelio Guedea.
‘A wonderful mix of earthly realities, deep, starry insights, and a vision making the world anew, making the familiar unfamiliar and the incomprehensible fugitively and sometimes amusingly meaningful.’ –John Gibb
