Not the best poetry, but Ursula is still distinctive
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Like her prose, Le Guin's poetry is thoughtful: every word is magical, reflecting the sort of dependency on words that exists in her Earthsea books. This belief in the primacy of language certainly makes her a better writer. I would never compare this poetry to any of the great "poets" (although her prose is a different matter), but there are in this book many beautiful nuggets that anyone could respect, not just someone who loves Le Guin like I do.
