SUMMARY:Write with Hugo House with Alma García
DESCRIPTION:Our mission during this time of distraction\, artistic fatigue\, and social isolation is to create a regular time and space for writers to write and to meet each other. In this group\, writers introduce themselves and are provided optional fiction\, poetry and nonfiction prompts to work on for 60-70 minutes of sustained silent writing time\, though they are more than welcome to work on their own projects instead. Small group breakout sessions at the end of our time together encourage participants to share and respond to work generated during the session\, or just get to know the other writers in the group. \n \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing. Bring something you’re working on\, or just come ready to write. You will have the opportunity to share your work and get feedback—but only if you want to (no pressure). You can also use this time to increase productivity on your current work in progress\, surrounded by fellow writers. \n \nThe Library fully complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and provides accommodations by request for physical and virtual access to library programs\, services\, and other needs to ensure these resources are available to people with disabilities. Please contact leap@spl.org\, at least 7 calendar days in advance to request an accommodation.

SUMMARY:Works in Progress (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Works in Progress is Hugo House's semi-monthly open mic series inclusive of diverse formats and storytelling crafts. Works in Progress is held on the first Monday virtually and third Monday in-person of every month at 7 pm. Read your work—poetry\, fiction\, essays\, memoirs\, plays\, music\, comedy\, and more—and connect with our literary community! \n \nWe are actively cultivating a low-pressure\, welcoming environment for readers and guests of all skill levels and literary experience. We especially encourage BIPOC\, LGBTQIA2S+\, and other marginalized voices to take the mic at Works in Progress.  \n \nHow it works (In-Person):  \nReading is open to all! \nYou don’t have to read. Guests and audience members are encouraged to attend.  \nDoors open half an hour before showtime.  \nSign up is on a first-come basis and begins at check-in.  \nThere are 2 sets of readings with about 10 people per set for a total of 20 readers. If time allows\, we may be able to accommodate last minute entries into what's called a "lightning round"\, which allows folks to share short work\, approximately 2-3 minutes.  \nThe House bar will be open to serve alcoholic and NA beverages.  \nThere is a brief intermission\, approx. 15 minutes\, between the 2 groupings of readers.  \n \nWe encourage your feedback on how we can continue to build a safer and more engaging environment at these events!

SUMMARY:Write with Hugo House with Jeanine Walker
DESCRIPTION:In this group\, we’ll focus on generative writing through poetry prompts. The session will begin with introductions and a short warm-up\, after which we’ll read two separate poems and write in response to those. At times writers will be invited to create community through sharing words or ideas with other writers in small groups. Attendees will leave the class with 2-3 new drafts of poems. Designed for all writers\, this group supports poets as well those working in other genres\, as the skills practiced in poetry can be thought of as “cross-training” for memoir and fiction\, too.  \n \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing.

SUMMARY:A Century of Grace: Readings from Two Poets Laureate
DESCRIPTION:Texas State Poets Laureate Karla K. Morton (2010) and Alan Birkelbach (2005) did what has never been done before: they traveled to all of America's 62 National Parks\, wrote poetry\, took photos\, and put them into a beautiful full color\, hard-bound coffee table book: The National Parks: A Century of Grace (TCU Press). \n \nWith this winner of the Indie National Book Award for Poetry\, the authors wanted to help culturally preserve and protect these sacred spaces for the next seven generations\, and contribute a percentage of their royalties back to the National Park System. They will be reading from this book as well as selections from their other works\, such as Morton's recent award winning poetry book\, Politics of the Minotaur (Texas Review Press). The authors will be in conversation together\, as well as with the audience for a brief Q&A.

SUMMARY:Clitaurus Chronicles: A Climactic Journey
DESCRIPTION:Sex ed isn't just about preventing bad stuff from happening. It's also about learning how to play! \n \nPapeachu Press invites parents and other adults to join sex therapist and Clitaurus Chronicles author\, Breona Mendoza\, at Hugo House for a presentation centering pleasure\, communication\, consent\, and how to talk to kids about these often-overlooked aspects of sexuality. To be followed by an outdoor ice cream social! \n \nClitaurus Chronicles advocates for pleasure and self-empowerment. Written in the style of an early-reader picture book\, this visual narrative follows Clitty: an adorable\, clitoris-shaped\, cartoon dinosaur with a dream to write a novel. The conflict surfaces right away—she needs to find her narrative climax. \n \nBooks will be sold at the event\, and are also available online at Papeachu Press. \n \nPapeachu is a feminist small press publishing the works of women and nonbinary creators\, in order to elevate and venerate a body of work often under-appreciated. We strive to support the best art and elevate new voices.

SUMMARY:Write Our Democracy: Writers for Reproductive Rights
DESCRIPTION:Hugo House is pleased to welcome the return of our collaborative programming with Write Our Democracy. Join us for a new reading and community event hosted by Julia Hands and Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum. \n \nHow do we as writers and community members best utilize our voices\, both on and off the page\, to combat the ongoing onslaught of legislative violence? Write Our Democracy returns to confront these questions and to alchemize our rage into progressive action.  \n \nWe will assemble with six writers from across Washington state as they share the stage and their writing on the topic of reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy. \n \nWe will share opportunities to donate to the Northwest Abortion Access Fund as well as further information on how to take action for reproductive rights. \n \n[Originally launched as Writers Resist\, a movement that inspired nearly 100 worldwide events on January 15\, 2017\, Write Our Democracy is an initiative to gather and mobilize writers and focus public attention on the ideals of a free\, just\, and compassionate democracy.]

DESCRIPTION:Our mission during this time of distraction\, artistic fatigue\, and social isolation is to create a regular time and space for writers to write and to meet each other. In this group\, writers introduce themselves and are provided optional fiction\, poetry and nonfiction prompts to work on for 60-70 minutes of sustained silent writing time\, though they are more than welcome to work on their own projects instead. Small group breakout sessions at the end of our time together encourage participants to share and respond to work generated during the session\, or just get to know the other writers in the group.  \n \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing. Bring something you’re working on\, or just come ready to write. You will have the opportunity to share your work and get feedback—but only if you want to (no pressure). You can also use this time to increase productivity on your current work in progress\, surrounded by fellow writers.

SUMMARY:Write with Hugo House with Jeanine Walker
DESCRIPTION:In this group\, we’ll focus on generative writing through poetry prompts. The session will begin with introductions and a short warm-up\, after which we’ll read two separate poems and write in response to those. At times writers will be invited to create community through sharing words or ideas with other writers in small groups. Attendees will leave the class with 2-3 new drafts of poems. Designed for all writers\, this group supports poets as well those working in other genres\, as the skills practiced in poetry can be thought of as “cross-training” for memoir and fiction\, too.  \n \nAbout Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) \nWrite with Hugo House is a free drop-in writing circle for all ages and genres of writing. Bring something you’re working on\, or just come ready to write. You will have the opportunity to share your work and get feedback—but only if you want to (no pressure).

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Book of Small Regrets by Ellen Sollod in conversation with Marcie Sillman
DESCRIPTION:Join artist/writer Ellen Sollod for a brief multimedia presentation of The Book of Small Regrets\, followed by a spirited conversation with award-winning radio journalist Marcie Sillman. The Book of Small Regrets was created in response to the COVID crisis when even the smallest slights could seem catastrophic. Sollod tapped her social network to contribute their own small regrets\, impulse purchases and “comfort” foods to which they turned to manage their pandemic anxiety. These acted as prompts for the creation of the book. As an artist-conceived and designed book\, it straddles the genres of writing and visual art. While it is a traditional codex form\, it expands the definition of what a book can be and encourages the reader/viewer to broaden their own preconceived notions of “book.” Combining writing\, drawing and photography\, the book explores the universal experiences we all have as human beings with foibles and challenges. It brings together a light-hearted touch with a sense of humility. \n \nThis project is supported in part by the City of Seattle Office of Arts and Culture City Artists Program.
