I really like this artical because it was written from a poet's point of view, and I like to write poems. Often we don't get to look into the poets mind directly and see what influenced a certiain poem, but from reading this chapter, I got to do that. It was really interesting to read about what old Seattle use to look like. It was also interesting to see how the Depression affected the people of Seattle during the 30's and 40's. Now I understand how a place can shape an artist and thier work. I was sad when Hugo mentioned the drowned dogs in the Duwamish River. It just showed how desperate people got when they were in poverty during the Depression. I also thought that Hugo's poem reflected Seattle perfectly during the time. It was nice to see a glimpse of Seattle through poetry, and through the mind of a poet.
