Ursula K. Le Guin @ursulakleguin.com · Sep 5

Scholar Ken Roemer carried on a lively on-again, off-again correspondence with Ursula over a few of decades that started with a request to submit to a study of utopian literature in the US. He reviews Library of America's Collected Poems in an upcoming issue of the journal Utopian Studies.

A quote from Ken Roemer's upcoming Utopian Studies article, "Meet the 'more immediate and intense' Ursula K. Le Guin," reads: "Le Guin's poetry doesn't give us the 'hows' and 'details' of dystopias and utopias the way her novels ... do. Instead they drop us quickly, intensely, and momentarily into alternate realities she abhorred and longed for. They range from punches to mystical reminders, anticipations of the fearful and the hopeful."

Art Deco’s Bad Girl, Still Ahead of Her Time

Tamara de Lempicka’s first major U.S. survey invokes her as a trailblazing techno-feminist who borrowed freely from art history. But it also buries her erratic second act.
