Bystanders heard Hugo's "joke" and chuckled.
But our eyes met. Knew what he meant:
Money didn't drum our hearts.
"The only real reward of writing," he'd later write, "is that spe-
cial way you feel just when you've done something you like."
We nodded `See you!' in that elite private club of wealth and
power.
And I drove through the night streets of D.C. to my now.
Two years later, Hugo died of leukemia in Seattle, the city of
his birth.
Left us with 14 volumes of his savvy and soul, the most import-
ant of which is the thick volume of his collected poems called
Making Certain It Goes On.
As all of us in that 1970 UM seminar room and reading here

A WOW WHOSE PHRASE "THE LAST GOOD KISS"
GAVE A WINNING TITLE TO HIS UM COLLEAGUE
JAMES CRUMLEY'S 1978 CRIME NOVEL.
