NY, Norton, (1979). Lectures and essays on poetry and writing by Hugo, an award-winning poet who also directed the writing program at the University of Montana. Inscribed by Hugo: "For Steve [Krauzer]/ fellow poet/ colleague/ glad you came to join us/ Dick." Krauzer, who was also a novelist and a screenwriter, was part of the thriving literary scene in Missoula, Montana that Hugo helped to create in the 1960s and 1970s. A nice association copy. Books inscribed by Hugo are relatively uncommon, and he was an important writer not just as an award-winning poet but as a mentor to a generation of younger writers who passed through Missoula. Fine in a dust jacket with the slightest degree of spine fading, else fine. [#027911] SOLD
