The United States Postal Service has announced its latest batch of stamp art, including one honoring science fiction luminary Ursula K. Le Guin by artist Donato Giancola, which will be released later this year.
The stamp, the Postal Service says in its release, is the 33rd installment of its Literary Arts series, which has featured such authors as F. Scott Fitzgerald (1996), Mark Twain (2011), and Walt Whitman (2019). The stamp features a portrait of Le Guin taken from a 2006 photograph, as well as a scene from her famous novel
The Left Hand of Darkness.
We are delighted to announce that the 33rd stamp in the US Postal Service Literary Arts series honors Ursula. Stamp release will be later this year, date TBD. From then on, all our letters will be three ounces! Thank you @USPS for this distinction. https://t.co/H0jw1KmhUbpic.twitter.com/NA8Yz7I7fl

The poet Amanda Gorman, the nation’s first Youth Poet Laureate, has been chosen to read at President Biden’s inauguration. The title of her inauguration poem is “The Hill We Climb.”
Beautiful World, Where Are You will be published in September 2021. According to FSG, the novel is about four people in Ireland who “are still young but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart. . . . Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?”
