Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. After the inaugural launch in March at Richard Hugo House, those involved venture to the Seattle Public Central Library for more celebrating of this extraordinary, brand-new (from the bindery) book about Richard Hugo and his beloved Northwest haunts. Please join us as author Frances McCue, also Hugo House's founding director, and esteemed photographer Mary Randlett tell stories and show images about road trips now immortalized in The Car That Brought You Here Still Runs: Revisiting the Northwest Towns of Richard Hugo (University of Washington Press). This is a splendid way to see this part of the country (its "triggering towns"), from La Push to Red Lodge, with White Center there at the start, and the singular, soulful vision of one of its great poets, the late Richard Hugo. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. $5 parking coupons are available on a limited basis for those attending. The Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). For more information, please see www.spl.org or call (206) 386-4636. Frances McCue and Mary Randlett also read at Richard Hugo House on Wednesday, March 31st at 7:30 p.m.
