Abstract
Of the Pacific Northwest’s four major modern poets—Richard Hugo, Theodore Roethke, William Stafford, and David Wagoner—only Richard Hugo was born and reared in the region, a fact which significantly marks the experience of his poems. In fact, if one set out to imagine Northwest lives spanning the last sixty years, one of those imagined lives ought to look very much like Hugo’s, except, of course, that out of his life he made poetry.
