The Triggering Town: Lectures and Essays on Poetry and Writing
Author(s): Richard Hugo
Anthologies, Essays & Journals
Richard 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.
