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 Ingrid Rojas Contreras, Matthew Olzmann, Arianne True, and Zoser Dunbar present their new works based on the sub-theme of unearthing: discover (something hidden, lost, or kept secret) by investigation or searching.
