Editorials

James Dickey

“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.”

“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.”
