From Booklist
Ursula K. Le Guin--author of more than 80 short stories, 2 collections of essays, 3 volumes of poetry, and 16 novels--has lived on Thurman Street in Portland, Oregon, for more than 25 years. In 1985, on the night of a blue moon, she teamed with photographer Roger Dorbland, a neighbor, to document the 45 blocks of Thurman Street, which lead from industrial warehouses, through poor neighborhoods and wealthy, up a hill to a park with 38 miles of forested trails. Le Guin and Dorbland wanted to capture what was both unique and commonplace about such a city street, and they also caught, through the years, the "gentrification/yuppification/upscaling" often so destructive to older neighborhoods' communities. The result is a delightful browser, with many levels to explore: Le Guin offers handwritten poetry, overheard conversations, and selections from the Bhagavad Gita; Dorbland provides photographs covering the years and seasons; and Le Guin and Dorbland fill an appendix with little anecdotes and comments about the photographs. Dorbland's pictures are worth a thousand words, and Le Guin's poems are worth a thousand pictures: "Souls take their own ways / sideways." Eloise Kinney
