Ronald Bottrall, born in 1906, emerged as a notable poet in the thirties when F. R. Leavis singled out his early work for attention. His Collected Poems (1961) was warmly received. The major part of his new book was written during 1972, and in these recent poems the mature talents of a very distinctive and distinguished writer are at their best. The book is in five parts; the first is a single long narrative poem, rich in humour, about the poet's Cornish childhood. There follow groups of shorter poems about people, events and places-lyrical, meditative, or satirical; and always superbly skilful.

Hardcover. NY, Norton, 2nd pr., 1984, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 456 pages. This increasingly uncommon collection of Hugo's published poetry also contains 22 new poems not previously collected. 456 pages, indexed. This posthumously published book of Hugo's collected poetry evinces that Hugo's poems are marked by crisp, gorgeous images of nature that often stand in contrast to his own depression, loneliness, and alcoholism. Although almost always written in free verse, his poems have a strong sense of rhythm that often echoes iambic meters. He also wrote of large number of informal epistolary poems at a time when that form was unfashionable. Primarily a regionalist, Hugo's work reflects the economic depression of the Northwest, particularly Montana.
