Ursula K. Le Guin: Prose and Poetry

May 15, 1995

“This is terrible, I can’t see you. I hope you’re there.” Thus spoke Ursula K. Le Guin, taking the stage for her first 92Y reading in May 1995. That evening, this “wise woman, our seeress, a writer of infinite range and power” (said Carolyn Kizer, her co-reader) read short prose pieces and poems, including:

Sunday in Summer in Seatown The Lost Children The Wise Woman Mouth of the Klamath Apples For Virginia Kidd Werewomen Her Silent Daughter Semen The Woman and the Soul Inventory Going Out With Peacocks The Hard Dancing
