Richard Hugo!

At first I had a difficult time understanding the author's way of writing. However, reading further into the chapter, I began to adapt to Richard Hugo's style of poem writing and imagined a voice speaking. For some reason, I enjoyed reading Hugo's poems perhaps a lot more than any other that I have thus far in my lifetime. It is also a help that he decribed everything and the story behind each verse, painting a vivid picture of Seattle that time period; a big contrast to the last reading we had! I would say that my favorite parts of this reading was when he decribed how life was in Seattle at a time when immigration and poverty was everywhere.
