Richard Hugo

poet american · 1923–1982

Richard Hugo, născut Richard Franklin Hogan, a fost un poet american. Deși unii critici îl consideră pe Hugo un regionalist în principal, opera sa rezonează pe scară largă, dincolo de spațiu și timp. O parte a operei lui Hugo reflectă criza economică din nord-vestul Statelor Unite, în special din Montana.
