Happy publication day to BAD LANGUAGE and its belief in an oneiric queer liberation philology! 💫

Words hold worlds, and hence hold sway over our interactions with our surroundings. For Le Guin [...] we are bound up in knotty entanglements with each other, always being woven into the ecologies that surround us. We are always more than human. www.stirworld.com/think-books-...

Out today: MEMORY by Dorothea Lasky. What constitutes personhood and consciousness? What memories get lost, and why? MEMORY traverses three dimensions of memory – ancestral, personal and poetic – reflecting on art, collective reminiscence, and forgetting. www.silverpress.org/collections/...

'Yes, Le Guin was a map maker. That’s how she found her way into her invented worlds. After she made her maps, she proceeded to settle on them and mentally walk around inside them. If we home in on the exhibition’s maps themselves we can begin to unlock her secrets' hyperallergic.com/1052078/take...

Excited to be participating in this Glasgow Ursula Le Guin love fest on 4/11 with @suchmayer.bsky.social, @taylorwdriggers.bsky.social, @mjrsangster.bsky.social We're celebrating @silver-press.bsky.social gorgeous new book The Word for World which centres on Le Guin's imaginative maps. Come!

I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to see this. I once sent Ms Le Guin a copy of one of my Portland maps, and she gave the most generous response. It was a wonderful insight into the practical aspects of her world building process.

The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin is a beauty, with maps & sketches by Ursula, essays & interviews with @davidnaimon.bsky.social and others, edited by @suchmayer.bsky.social, published by @silver-press.bsky.social to accompany the exhibition. #naturewriting #booksky #magic
