Le Guin was lauded by millions for her ground- breaking science fiction novels, but she began as a poet, and wrote across genres for her entire career. In this clarifying and sublime collection--completed shortly before her death in 2018--Le Guin is unflinching in the face of mor- tality, and full of wonder for the mysteries beyond. Redolent of the lush natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, with rich sounds playfully echoing myth and nursery rhyme, Le Guin bookends a long, daring, and prolific career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom How it Seems to Me \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the vast abyss before time, self is not, and soul commingles\u003cbr\u003ewith mist, and rock, and light.
