Description
Late in the Day, Ursula K. Le Guin's new collection of poems, seeks meaning in an ever-connected world. In part evocative of Neruda's Odes to Common Things (originally 1961; Little, Brown, 1994) and Mary Oliver's poetic guides to the natural world, Le Guin gives voice to objects that may not speak a human language but communicate with us nevertheless through and about the seasonal rhythms of the earth, the minute and the vast, the ordinary and the mythological.
Also includes two short essays, Deep in Admiration & Some Thoughts on Form, Free Form, Free Verse.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics praise Le Guin as a "life-long observer of humanity and nature" who "never loses touch with her reverence for the immense what is." Her imagination is described as both "forceful and delicate," with a "down-to-earth, intensely personal voice" that is unmistakable.
