Hugo Lit Series | Second Chances

Every year, Hugo House commissions new prose, poetry, and songs based on a writing prompt. During the Hugo Literary Series, authors share the results. This year, we’ve decided to go with the theme re/birth to celebrate, if not the end of the pandemic, then at least some way of us living in the world with it, and the revival/resurgence of creativity that has been dormant for two long years.

For this evening's event, writers Danez Smith, Rachel Khong, Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello, and Zan Fiskum present their new works based on the sub-theme of second changes: an opportunity to try something again after failing one time.
