| Summary: | 'The poet's measures serve anarchic joy. The storyteller tells one story, freedom.' Throughout a celebrated career that spanned genres, Ursula K. Le Guin was first and last a poet. This sixth volume in the definitive Library of America Le Guin edition presents for the first time an authoritative gathering of her verse, from the earliest collection, Wild Angels, through her final publication, So Far So Good, which she delivered to her editor a week before her death. The major themes of Le Guin's work find their most refined expression here, exploration as a metaphor for both human bravery and creativity, the mystery and fragility of nature, the Tao Te Ching, marriage, aging and womanhood. Features include a new introduction by Harold Bloom written in 2019, sixty-eight uncollected poems, a selection of Le Guin's prose writing about poetry and helpful notes. |
