- Seattle is faced with a dilemma when news breaks that an old Victorian house space at 1634 11th Ave is being torn down to make way for a mixed-use apartment building. The theater turned cafe and artist space is home to a literary center called Richard Hugo House, and in this documentary, co-founder and former executive director Frances McCue decides to capture what made the place so special. What comes to light is bigger than one building: colonization, gentrification, boom-bust cycles, and grief at the most intimate level. Haunting the film is the literary center's namesake, Richard Hugo (1923-1982), a Boeing poet who once worked at Boeing. Hugo inspired generations of writers in the American West, and in this vivid experimental film, archival footage, animation, interviews with authors, and original poems combine to illuminate how poetry and place intertwine.
