Special Fields
DescriptionRichard Hugo was that rare phenomenon-a distinguished poet who was also an inspiring teacher. The Triggering Town is his classic collection of lectures, essays and reflections "directed toward helping with that silly, absurd, maddening, futile, enormously rewarding activity: writing poems". The beginning poet, the mature writer and the lover of literature will all benefit from Hugo's playful and profound insights into literary creation. ReviewsRichard Hugo taught me that anyone with a desire to write, and an ear for language, and a bit of imagination could become a writer. -- James Welch, author of Fools Crow |
