Hugo Literary Series

A year ago Richard Hugo House invited 12 writers to write an original pieces on any aspect of an assigned theme that appealed them.

The Hugo Literary Series, which debuted in October, 2007, comes from our core desire to bring exciting new writing and writers to the House and to give audiences a glimpse into their process before the piece makes it between the covers of a book or glossy magazine.

Each event features three writers and a songwriter or band. The nights are collages, with unexpected styles and different points of view. We encourage writers to work without a sense of obligation, censorship or stylistic frame.

At the Hugo Literary Series, you will meet writers willing to take risks, to work without the safety net of editors, publishers or reviewers affirming the work before they stand in front of an audience and read it aloud. They are writers who share the exhilaration of creating something new and sharing it with an audience for the first time.

We hope you will join us for the 2007-2008 season:

October 12-13, 2007 “Lost in Translation”

November 16-17, 2007     “We Could Be Heroes”
