Each letter is written from a specific place that Hugo has made his own (a "triggering town," as he has called it elsewhere) to a friend, a fellow poet, an old love. We read over the poet's shoulder as the town triggers the imagination, the friendship is re-opened, the poet's selfhood is explored and illuminated. The "dreams" turn up unexpectedly (as dreams do) among the letters; their haunting images give further depth to the poet's exploration. Are we overhearing them? Who is the "you" that dreams?

Jacket Photograph By John Benedict. keywords: American Literature Poetry. DESCRIPTION-Richard Hugo, whom Carolyn Kizer has called ‘one of the most passionate, energetic, and honest poets living, ' here offers an extraordinary collection of new poems, each one a ‘letter' or a ‘dream. ' Both letters and dreams are special manifestations of aloneness; Hugo's special senses of aloneness, of places, and of other people are the forces behind his distinctively American and increasingly authoritative poetic voice. Each letter is written from a specific place that Hugo has made his own (a triggering town, ' as he has called it elsewhere) to a friend, a fellow poet, an old love. We read over the poet's shoulder as the town triggers the imagination, the friendship is re-opened, the poet's selfhood is explored and illuminated. The ‘dreams' turn up unexpectedly (as dreams do) among the letters; their haunting images give further depth to the poet's exploration. Are we overhearing them? Who is the ‘you' that dreams? Hugo's most recent book, WHAT THOU LOVEST WELL REMAINS AMERICAN, was awarded the Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize; this volume and THE LADY IN KICKING HORSE RESERVOIR (both published by Norton) were National Book Award nominees. inventory #4793.
