7. I am a great admirer of LeGuin
The title of one of her short novels sounds like a poem to me: "The Word for World is Forest." I have read "The Dispossessed" many times and always feel that I learn, or relearn, something important when I do. The "Earthsea" Trilogy is quite wonderful, both for young readers and for adults. And for a mind-blowing examination of gender, "The Left Hand of Darkness" (another title that sounds like a poem in one line).

Thanks for posting that - I have not read much of her poetry. It is quite lovely.
