Winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for Short Story - A New York Times Notable Book "Even Le Guin's overtly cautionary tales have a delicacy that disarms resistance. . . . Almost unbearably poignant."--The New York Times Book Review In these "vivid, entertaining, philosophical dispatches" (San Francisco Chronicle), literary legend Le Guin weaves together influences as wide-reaching as Borges, The Little Prince, and Gulliver's Travels to examine feminism, tyranny, mortality and immortality, art, and the mystery of being human--now available as a limited Olive Edition from Harper Perennial.Sita Dulip has missed her flight out of Chicago.

A collection of essays on life and literature, from one of the most iconic authors and astute critics in contemporary letters.Words Are My Matter is essential reading: a collection of talks, essays, and criticism by Ursula K. Le Guin, a literary legend and unparalleled voice of our social conscience. Here she investigates the depth and breadth of contemporary fiction--and, through the lens of literature, gives us a way of exploring the world around us.In "Freedom," Le Guin notes: "Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now ... to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom--poets, visionaries--realists of a larger reality."Le Guin was one of those authors and in Words Are My Matter she gives us just that: a vision of a better reality, fueled by the power and might and hope of language and literature.

At last, a major American poet collected for the first time in the sixth volume of the definitive Library of Edition of her works In his last book, Harold Bloom presents the earthy, surprising, and lyrical poetry of Ursula K. Le Guin Ursula K. Le Guin's career began and ended with poetry. This sixth volume in the definitive Library of America edition of her works gathers, for the first time, her collected poems--from her earliest collection Wild Angels (1974) through her final publication, the collection So Far So Good, which she delivered to her editor just a week before her death in 2018. The themes explored in the poems gathered here resonate through all Le Guin's oeuvre, but find their strongest voice in her poetry: exploration as a metaphor for both human bravery and creativity, the mystery and fragility of nature and the impact of humankind on their environment, the Tao Te Ching, marriage, womanhood, and even cats. Le Guin's poetry is often traditional in form but never in style:
