"'The poet's measures serve anarchic joy. / The story-teller 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." -- Back cover.… (more)
