Which indeed.
I was unfamiliar with Le Guin‘s poetry and found myself loving it so much, that I bought my own copy. (I had initially borrowed it from the library.) There is a certain contemplative aspect that reminds me of Mary Oliver.
It shocked me a bit that this is one of her last poems.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had not known she was a poet, much less such a prolific one!
This was the last book of poems that Ursula K Le Guin worked on before she passed away last year. Most of the poems in this collection are very short, but 2 of the longer poems in particular stood out to me as exceptional. The poem pictured was my favorite in the collection.
My fourth grade teacher read us The Earthsea Trilogy and I just fell in love with the way Ursula Le Guin writes. It‘s incredible to read the poems she composed even in her last days. You‘re incredibly missed. 💚 #theoriginalwizard
“All things are in the universe, and the universe is in all things,
We in it and it in us
There is grandeur in this view of life.”
Well, here they are: My “so far” #TBR stacks for #24B4Monday and #24in48. I reserve the right to change my mind and stacks multiple times! ⭐️📚 #24in48ReadingChallenge
Came across this poem (in an article) taken from Le Guin's book So Far So Good, isn't it soulful? ❤️
Book has been stacked already. 😶
