Public Reading of Ursula K Le Guin’s Unlocking the Air
Tuesday, January 6th at 6:30pm
Imagine a dramatic story about people in a city trying for hundreds of years to overthrow various tyrannical governments, only to be crushed by soldiers, again and again… Imagine after many generations, your great great grandchildren succeed.
Ursula K Le Guin is primarily known as an award-winning science fiction writer, but she also wrote award winning essays, and poetry. Join local poets and other gifted readers who will come together for a public reading of her story, Unlocking the Air. While this tale of revolution, set in a mythical Eastern European nation of Orsinia, is a work of fiction, it also interweaves stirring poetry with the prose in unexpected bursts of language that has to be heard to be understood.
This public reading is lead by Rolf Parker. Rolf lives in Southern Vermont, where he runs “The University of Brattleboro,” a benefit corporation that creates free community events (including the excavation of fake UFO crash sites and free writing contests). He is a poet and has also worked as a newspaper reporter, a math teacher and a college writing instructor.
