INCREDIBLE GOOD FORTUNE is Ursula K. Le Guin's sixth collection of poems, gathering her work from the past five years. These warm, funny, and eloquent poems by the celebrated author of ALWAYS COMING HOME and THE LANGUAGE OF THE NIGHT showcase Le Guin's many facets as a writer. At turns 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. Ursula K. Le Guin is the winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Gandalf, Kafka, and National Book Awards. She is the author of many short stories and more than fifteen novels including THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS, THE DISPOSSESSED, and the EARTHSEA CYCLE. Her books of poetry include GOING OUT WITH PEACOCKS and SIXTY ODD. She is also an honored author of children's books and criticism.
Review:
"[C]ompact and often songlike work, adroit in both Western (rhyming quatrains; couplets) and non-Western (meditation and praise song) modes."
