Ursula Le Guin was one of the best American writers of the 20th century, in science fiction and out of it. More than that, she was also an immense impact on my life, my perception of language, my relationships, and more. She had this way with words that I won't think we'll see again soon, a kind of humility coupled with a deft hand in using them to unlock truth.

Most of all, she was a brave person, a voice against capitalism, fascism, cruelty, and war. She was a feminist thinker and a Buddhist and many other things besides. I miss her every day and this is my way to give something back to the community she was part of and to grieve for her. Even though she died years ago, I'm still grieving for her and will continue to release these readings every year, as close to her day of passing as possible.
