Articles by Frances McCue

Frances McCue is poet, writer, author of multiple books, and teaching professor at the University of Washington. She's also the writer and producer of Where the House Was, a feature documentary about gentrification and poetry in the city. Her poetry books read as novels, taking us through the life of a stenographer who doesn’t want to take dictation (The Stenographer’s Breakfast), or the world of Marrakesh where a tragedy ensues (The Bled). One of her most recent books, Timber Curtain, traces the old Hugo House building on Capitol Hill into redevelopment. McCue was the co-founder of Hugo House and is the author of a book on the poet Richard Hugo (The Car That Brought You Here Still Runs: Revisiting the Northwest Towns of Richard Hugo). She is currently engaged in a new literary start-up: Pulley Press, a poetry imprint.
