This book contains both a wealth of poems connected to Le Guin and her work, and a thoughtful retrospective of Le Guin's poetry written by R.B. Lemberg. Possible bias note: one of my poems is reprinted in the volume. It's very difficult for me to consider this book objectively. Le Guin is one of the handful of authors whose work I love most, and I have loved her work for a long time, since I was eight or nine years old. I very much liked many of the poems in this collection, but I presume they r...
I worked on this a bit to help Lisa and R.B. sort through submissions, and I also picked a bunch of lines from Le Guin's poems as potential titles. I can't review the book due to the obvious conflict of interest, but I was one of the first to read it :)
What a beautiful tribute!
Moving and fascinating. I'm more familiar with Ursula Le Guin's novels and essays than her poetry, but this book makes me want to remedy that.

The second part is a really interesting academic study on Ursula's poetry itself. That section definitely made me want to read more of Ursula's po...
I'm working my way through STEERING THE CRAFT by the famous feminist sci-fi writer Ursula LeGuin -- a book I'd highly recommend for any writers. And in the book is poetry -- her poetry. Then, I spotted this anthology CLIMBING LIGHTLY THROUGH FORESTS which is in honor of her poetry -- and I know it's one step removed from reading her poetry, but it intrigued me.

I know that the works of Ursula K Le Guin have been deeply meaningful to me. Obviously they have been to others. This is a lovely collection of poems in honor of Le Guin. They are about various topics including stories, books, poems, and essays. They are about the lands she loved. I wish Le Guin could have seen these poems. I am glad others could find words for how much she meant to me. Only suggest if you are a Le Guin fan. There is a long essay at the end of the book about her poetry. The 5 st...

A beautiful collection. (I read the poems and not the essay as I haven't yet read any of Le Guin's poetry. I will return once I have)
