Remembering Freedom: voicing Ursula K. Le Guin (FAN TRIBUTE)

Project Overview

Hello, kind voicers of this plane! May I invite a kindred SOUL to try lending their VOCAL JUSTICE to this oral in-memoriam to Ursula K. Le Guin, science fiction/fantasy writer and explorer of more egalitarian worlds? 

Fello traveler Margaret Killjoy has written a warm outpouring of her love to Le Guin, and I would like to lend my own voice to read her part...

There are quotes in that paean from Le Guin's essays, appearances, etc. -- around three short ones? The oral reading project will most likely appear on this ragtag Youtube channel: please pardon the sparse content herein! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjGYa8mqxF0av-uQDMXCHjg

'Hoping to hear from kind people who have been touched by Ursula's worlds and would like to show their own yearning for revolutionary social change, whether you're in the Global South, the inner road, and other places outside Omelas!

There's no pressing need to do an impression of her voice; perhaps if you could imbue a sense of wisdom, mindfulness, firmness, and clarity in delivery? All the best, and thank you!

  • “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.”
