By I picked this up from the poetry section at the Woodland Public Library last Saturday. I love that she has a section written from a cruise ship. I love the introduction giving advice to poetry writers about how best to approach the craft — classes, community and focusing on form are a few nuggets of advice from the late Le Guin.
Form is certainly a focus here — I enjoyed her rhyming throughout. The poems are not too long, keeping the reader moving through pages.
Le Guin is a complex writer and this poetry affirms that — I love her style and the freedom she has with her words.

I recently read my first Ursula Le Guin novel. ‘The Left Hand of Darkness’ was a bookclub choice. I was glad I had a chance to discuss it with others. Le Guin is an amazing writer, and the novel had many layers of meaning. I didn’t know she wrote poetry too. I always thought of her as a science fiction writer. Our blog always broadens my horizons.

So glad you have met Le Guin – Teri wrote a review of The Left Hand of Darkness here: https://seasonalreading.com/2018/07/14/week-3-the-left-hand-of-darkness-by-ursula-k-le-guin/
And I would highly recommend No Time to Spare if you can get your hands on it 🙂 https://seasonalreading.com/2018/07/03/week-1-kate-gave-me-a-book-so-i-read-most-of-that-instead/
