The Poet's Companion: A Guide to the Pleasures of Writing Poetry
Condition: USED (All books are in used condition)
“I don't know why we do it. We must be crazy./Welcome, fellow poet."―Richard Hugo
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. 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.| Country | USA |
