<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><em>"I don't know why we do it. We must be crazy./Welcome, fellow poet."</em>--Richard Hugo<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Richard 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. <em>The Triggering Town</em> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Richard Hugo's free-swinging, go-for-it remarks on poetry and the teaching of poetry are exactly what are needed in classrooms and in the world.--James Dickey, author of Deliverance<br><br>Richard 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<br>
