The last time I saw Ursula

I am still coming to terms with the loss of Ursula K. LeGuin.

I had the joy of meeting her once in 2007, in Madison, Wisconsin where I could appreciate her wits and zen-like humor.

I gave my own testimonial in my blog, along with a picture I made of her - and that she signed! https://sundayartist.wordpress.com/20...

I am reading Late in the Day: Poems 2010–2014 her last poetry collection.

The last time I saw Ursula

She was enjoying an ice cream cone
in the heat of Madison
sitting in the main avenue
her back to the
large, white, round Capitol dome
as she was savoring her
large, white, round, ice cream
