Frances McCue with Cary Moon: The Importance of Artistic Voices in Urban Planning
The 2016 demolition and relocation of Seattle’s beloved literary center, The Richard Hugo House, inspired comments and musings from local luminaries on the future of our city’s cultural and physical landscape. Among them are recent mayoral candidate Cary Moon and Hugo House founding director Frances McCue, who take our stage for a conversation on McCue’s latest poetry collection 'Timber Curtain'. The pair offer a mediation on the intersection of poetry and urban planning, and the ethics of the myths-of-place we create for ourselves. They invite us to explore the space between ramshackle and remodel, merging literature and engineering perspectives to reflect on our city’s bygone or transformed structures—and the institutions they represent. Join McCue and Moon as they examine poems originally written as narration for McCue’s forthcoming 2018 documentary 'Where the House Was', and discuss the aesthetic, social, cultural, and political transformation of Seattle.
