    The Journey of Lil Stick and His Stick Family is Patrick Lee Clark's M.F.A. thesis book. Selected by the NMSU Creative Writing Poetry faculty, readers are moved by Patrick's unique and fabulist handling of the African American diaspora in a wild variety of genres. The figure of "Lil Stick" as the result of that violent and bluesy history was utterly original.
