Road Ends at Tahola: Poems.
Pittsburgh: Slow Loris Press, 1978. First Printing of the First US Trade Edition. A Fine bright copy in cream colored paper wraps. This is one of 1000 copies issued. There was no hardcover edition of this title. Richard Hugo is noted for the tight, rhythmic control of his language and lines and for the sharp sense of place evoked in his poems. Hugo's images are urgent and compelling; he imbues the many minute or seemingly irrelevant details found in his poems with a subtle significance, thereby creating a tension between the particular and the universal. This tension is considered central to Hugo's most powerful poems. In his poems Hugo reflected as much upon the internal region of the individual as on the external region of the natural world, and he considered these two deeply interconnected. Item #25149
