Words Are My Matter: Canongate Canons
Autor Ursula K. Le Guinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2025
'A crafter of fierce, focused, fertile dreams' DAVID MITCHELL
'A literary icon' STEPHEN KING
Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom - poets, visionaries - realists of a larger reality . . .
Words Are My Matter is a selection of Ursula K. Le Guin's best writing on literature, articulating with precision and passion her belief in the social and political value of storytelling - especially in hard times. In doing so, and with her characteristic spirit, Le Guin offers both a glimmer of hope and a set of operating instructions for a life lived with meaning.

"By breaking down the walls of genre, Le Guin handed new tools to twenty-first-century writers working in what [Michael] Chabon calls the 'borderlands,' the place where the fantastic enters literature."
— Julie Phillips,The New Yorker
“Spills over with insight, outrage and humor.’"
— Michael Dirda,Washington Post
"Her writing feels more urgent than ever."
— Zoe Carpenter,The Nation
"[Le Guin] proves, again and again in these pages, that she is not just a great author, but an equally skilled reader...Le Guin is especially astute when discussing the craft of writing and how it can be taught...I note that the title of this book isWords Are My Matter. Le Guin demonstrates that amply in this volume."
—Dallas Morning News
"[A] splendid collection that gave us Le Guin on the artist's task in meaning-making and her operating instructions for life...Le Guin was a seer in the largest sense — her gaze bent past our culture’s horizons of peril and possibility visible to most, and she saw the early warning sings of a darkening reality...[She] ends her admonition on a hopeful and empowering note — a clarion call for resistance, reminding us that any broken system is fixable, and that the fixing falls on our own participatory hands."
—Maria Popova,BrainPickings
“[W]hat she says of poetry—'Its primary job is simply to find the words that give it its right, true shape'—might well be said of all the shapely pieces in this generous, edifying, and invaluable collection."
