The Triggering Town: Lectures and Essays on Poetry and Writing

â€œI donâ€™t know why we do it. We must be crazy./Welcome, fellow poet.â€â€•Richard Hugo
Richard Hugo, whom Carolyn Kizer called â€œone of the most passionate, energetic and honest poets living,â€ was that rare phenomenonâ€•a distinguished poet who was also an inspiring teacher. The Triggering Town is Hugoâ€™s classic collection of lectures, essays, and reflections, all â€œdirected toward helping with that silly, absurd, maddening, futile, enormously rewarding activity: writing poems.â€ From pieces that include â€œWriting off the Subjectâ€ and â€œHow Poets Make a Living,â€ anyone, from the beginning poet to the mature writer to the lover of literature, will benefit greatly from Hugoâ€™s playful and profound insights into the mysteries of literary creation.
