How does Hugo House move forward?

You’re invited to join the conversation as we build the future of Hugo House together.
We’re having an Open Space gathering to create a dialogue around what matters to YOU about what we do at Hugo House. In Open Space meetings, participants create and manage their own agenda of parallel working sessions around a central theme of strategic importance. More on Open Space here (link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology). We’re going to convene around the question, “How does Hugo House move forward?”

We want to continue our tradition of connecting with our community as we look to move forward and bring focus to what we do best as a center for the literary arts. Here are the details and how to let us know if you’re interested in joining in:

Open Space Gathering
Saturday, May 14
Noon to 4 p.m. at Hugo House
Everyone’s invited. Lunch provided.
If you want to join in, please RSVP by May 9 to RSVP@hugohouse.org.

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

Sam O’Hana on How to Support Working Class Poets

When I said that what’s good for general society is also good for poets, I’m talking about a series of cultural opportunities where a much wider stretch of people are allowed to take the opportunity to become writers. I came back from a conference last week where I presented some research on the demographic aspects of the New American poets. The poets that were born and came to maturity in the early to mid-20th century were beneficiaries of broad national scale longevity gains. This [includes] things like pushbacks against tuberculosis, against polio, against poor nutrition and infant mortality. These are gains that were made by the medical and scientific institutions, but also by general prosperity, by making more food available to more people and making that food shelf stable for longer. So, when you talk about what might make it possible for poor people to do more creative work, you could start by saying well we should just give people more money, but the fact of the matter is that plenty of people already have the wealth they need, they just don’t actually have any time.
