Summary

This poetry collection by the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author presents selections from across fifty years of verse—plus more than seventy new poems. 
 
Though internationally celebrated for her imaginative fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin started out as a poet, and since 1959 has never ceased to publish poems. Finding My Elegy distills her life's work in verse, offering a selection of the best from her six earlier volumes of poetry as well as powerful new poems written in the first decade of the twenty-first century. 
 
The fruit of over a half century of writing, the seventy selected and seventy-seven new poems consider war and creativity, motherhood and the natural world, and glint with humor and vivid beauty. These moving works of art are a reckoning with a whole life. 
 
"She never loses touch with her reverence for the immense what is.” —Margaret Atwood

    There were scarcely any events in the life of Thomas Hood. One condition there was of too potent determining importance—life-long ill health; and one circumstance of moment—a commercial failure, and consequent expatriation. Beyond this, little presents itself for record in the outward facts of this upright and beneficial career, bright with genius and coruscating with wit, dark with the lengthening and deepening shadow of death. - from the Biographical Introduction  by William Michael Rossetti of The Poetical Works of Thomas Hood

    Angel Cruz is imprisoned at Riker’s Island because he shot the cult leader who brainwashed and stole his friend. Angel meets Lucius, who is awaiting extradition to Florida—where he casually killed eight people while paranoid and high on drugs. Two men who might otherwise never have met are brought together behind bars. Lucius takes his solace in God and Angel thinks he knows what he believes in but finds that he doesn’t. A riveting work from the recipient of the 2006 PEN Literary Award for Drama, which cites Guirgis as “creating a theatre that feels vital, political, intimate and undeniably of the moment”.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Marco Greco as Charlie d’Amico
Janel Moloney as Mary Beth Harnahan
Joe Quintero as Angel Cruz
Charlie Robinson as Lucius Jenkins
David Zayas as Valdez

Directed by Richard Masur. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in November of 2006.
