11th Ave’s own Hugo House has been celebrating National Poetry Month with local writers reading their favorite poems in day-to-day settings. With Hugo’s Capitol Hill location, many of these settings are on or near Capitol Hill. Below, you can watch Sean O’Connor read Billy Collins from the Cal Anderson swings. Here’s Howl from the Pony bathroom. One poem comes to you from a barbershop on Denny and Bellevue (watch for the Bud Light truck’s arrival in the background). Here’s a poetry-rich stroll through the Central District. You can view the entire month’s worth of readings here.
According to Street Sweets’ twitterfeed, they will be @ Hugo House on Saturday along with Maximus/Minimus & Hallava Fallafel
Details:
