Ursula Le Guin
16 May 2025 - 16 May 2025
- Late author of The Dispossessed and many other works of science fiction, fantasy, poetry, and a nice translation of the Tao Te Ching
- She had a blog! Worth reading. From her final post:
Once I sang freedom, freedom, sweet as a mockingbird. But I have learned Real Politics. No freedom for our children in the world of the sayso. Only the listening. The silence all around the sayso. The never stopping listening. So I will listen to women and our children and powerless men, my people. And I will honor only my people, the powerless.
