Upon publication of The Lady in Kicking Horse Reservoir in 1973,
Richard Howard wrote, "Richard Hugo's concern is the unenviable,
the unenviable, the unvisited, even the univiting, which he must
invest with his own deprivation, his own private war. . . . Each
poem adds its incisive particulars to the general stoic wreck; but
what startles, then reassures in all this canon of the
inconsolable, the unsanctified, the dispossessed, is Hugo's
poetics, the analogy of language to experience. . . . Richard Hugo
is such an important poet because the difficulties inherent in his
art provide him a means of saying what he has to say. It is no
accident that he must develop a negative in order to produce a true
image."
