Incredible Good Fortune, a collection of poetry by Ursula K. LeGuin

I worship the ground Ursula LeGuin walks on, the paper she writes on, the air she breathes... OK that's going a bit too far, but she is definitely way up there on my list of favourite writers. The poems in this collection are a delight to read, to savour, to meditate upon.

The publisher's website has this to say about LeGuin's latest volume of poetry:

Passionate, humanitarian, and sensuously aware of the world's vitality, Le Guin's work can also be melancholy, playful, and dreamlike. Full of insight, humor, and wisdom, this collection includes close observations of day-to-day life, reflections on childhood and growing older, and explorations of myth and fable.

There's beauty in this book, and philosophy, and social comment, and political analysis of class, gender and race relations, and joy, and sorrow, and the heart of the human condition.

And it's Ursula K. LeGuin. My words are not enough - read hers.
