Available Copies Details Synopsis

�I don�t know why we do it. We must be crazy./Welcome, fellow poet.��Richard HugoRichard Hugo, whom Carolyn Kizer called �one of the most passionate, energetic and honest poets living,� was that rare phenomenon�a distinguished poet who was also an inspiring teacher. The Triggering Town is Hugo�s classic collection of lectures, essays, and reflections, all �directed toward helping with that silly, absurd, maddening, futile, enormously rewarding activity: writing poems.� From pieces that include �Writing off the Subject� and �How Poets Make a Living,� anyone, from the beginning poet to the mature writer to the lover of literature, will benefit greatly from Hugo�s playful and profound insights into the mysteries of literary creation.
