Présentation de l'éditeur
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.

Etat : Sehr gut. First Edition. 14.8 cm x 21.9 cm. XII, 109 pages. Original Hardcover with dustjacket in protective collector's Mylar. Deckled edges. Very good+ condition with only minor signs of external wear. Minor closed tear to page 75. Otherwise bright and clean. Contains original review slip from W.W. Norton & Company. Includes for example the following essays: Writing off the Subject / Assumptions / Stray Thoughts on Roethke and Teaching / In Defense of Creative-Writing Classes / Statements of Faith / How Poets Make a Living etc. Richard Hugo is that rare phenomenon in American letters- a distinguished and accomplished poet who is also an inspiring teacher. His volumes of poetry, their readership, and their awards testify to the former; The Triggering Town attests to the latter. Through all the essays and lectures collected here runs one strong connecting thread: to talk about writing from the standpoint of the writer. As Hugo says, "The writer's problems are seldom literary; they are usually psychological, like everybody else's.".For teachers, for students, for poets, and for readers of poetry, this will be an interesting and challenging book. (From jacket notes) Richard Hugo (19231982), born Richard Franklin Hogan, was an American poet. Primarily a regionalist, Hugo's work reflects the economic depression of the Northwestern United States, particularly Montana. Born in the White Center area of Seattle, Washington, he was raised by his mother's parents after his father left the family. In 1942 he legally changed his name to Richard Hugo, taking his stepfather's surname. He served in World War II as a bombardier in the Mediterranean. He left the service in 1945 after flying 35 combat missions and reaching the rank of first lieutenant. Hugo received his B.A. in 1948, and his M.A. in Creative Writing four years later, from the University of Washington where he studied under Theodore Roethke. He married Barbara Williams in 1952, the same year he started working as a technical writer for Boeing. In 1961 his first book of poems, A Run of Jacks, was published. Soon after he took a creative writing teaching job at the University of Montana. He later became the head of the creative writing program there. His wife returned to Seattle in 1964; they divorced soon after. He published five more books of poetry, a memoir, a highly respected book on writing, and also a mystery novel. His posthumous book of collected poetry, Making Certain It Goes On, evinces that his poems are marked by crisp, gorgeous images of nature that often stand in contrast to his own depression, loneliness, and alcoholism. Although almost always written in free verse, his poems have a strong sense of rhythm that often echoes iambic meters. He also wrote a large number of informal epistolary poems at a time when that form was unfashionable. Hugo's The Real West Marginal Way is a collection of essays, generally autobiographical in nature, that detail his childhood, his military service, his poetics, and his teaching. Hugo remarried in 1974 to Ripley Schemm Hansen. In 1977, he was named the editor of the Yale Younger Poets Series. Hugo died of leukemia in Seattle on October 22, 1982. Hugo House - a non-profit community writing center in Seattle - is named after him. (Wikipedia). N° de réf. du vendeur 200421AB

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First edition, first printing. SIGNED and warmly inscribed by the author in ink on the front fly leaf ("For ______ | who made towns | trigger | Dick"). The inscription is to a noted Pacific Northwest poet and collector, whose name is also written in ink on the front free endpaper. 109pp. Octavo [21.5cm]; full brown cloth with title stamped in gold on the spine; in the pictorial dust jacket. First edition statement and full number line printed on the copyright page. The book is in near fine condition with just a touch of sunning showing on the cloth at the top- and fore-edge. The dust jacket shows some light edgewear and is significantly sunfaded at its spine and (much less so) around the top edges. The dust jacket's front flap is machine-clipped at its bottom corner, with the price ($9.95) still intact at its top corner. A solid, square, and clean copy. A warmly inscribed first edition of this collection of essays and lectures on poetry wherein Hugo explores, among other things, the concept of "triggering" to enter an imaginative space to generate the words and rhythms of a poem. The theme of the book and the theme of the author's signed inscription on this book align quite neatly. Poet and teacher Richard Hugo (1923?1982, Seattle, Washington) was known for his regional and melancholic work which explored the landscapes, forgotten towns, and working-class concerns of the Pacific Northwest.
