The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. There are many, many things to love about Ursula K. LeGuin—she has written an astonishing variety of award-winning novels, story collections, books for children, volumes of poetry, translations, and essays for going on fifty years now. She supports the work of numerous other writers (especially younger, unknown ones), continues trying new things, and is open to collaboration. Out Here: Poems and Images from Steens Mountain Country (Raven Studios), co-created with photographer Roger Dorband, is one of the last. It features beautiful photographs of southeast Oregon high desert country by Roger Dorband, who has work exhibited in numerous museums and two other books; and it features poems and drawings by Ursula K. Le Guin. "Ursula with these poems, gives the Steens Mountain country luminous, clear voice, and Roger, with these images, a sacred, orchestral music." - Molly Gloss. "Southeast Oregon high desert, uncharismatic, empty working spaces is beauty. Dorband's photographs magically both near and far. LeGuin's sketches precise and ancient, dry. Each of her poems a unique event, they don't walk but hop, skip, jump—new rhythms, new rhymes. Her's a book to makes us want less of more—may the owl repackage and put us there." - Gary Snyder. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Microsoft Auditorium of the Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison and Spring).
