Please join us in celebrating the release of Leigh Sugar’s debut poetry collection, FREELAND (Alice James Books, 2025). Sugar, who formerly lived in Seattle, has taught several courses at Hugo House, and is excited to share in this exciting time with the Hugo House and greater Seattle literary community. A Jake Adam York and Alice James Award finalist, FREELAND is a collection that interrogates the US Criminal Legal System, following a romantic relationship between the speaker and an incarcerated beloved. Leigh will be joined by friends and Seattle-based writers Ally Ang (whose debut Let the Moon Wobble is also forthcoming from Alice James!) and Shelby Handler. Reading with Q&A to follow.
