About

The year 2018 marked the passing of the great speculative author Ursula K. Le Guin, a longtime resident of Portland, Oregon. In the age of Trump, Portland in many ways is like Anarres, the anarchist capital of The Dispossessed—a “rebel moon” of the Left Coast, home to activists, artists, and yes, anarchists. Hence my new anthology, currently under development: Dispatches from Anarres: Portland Authors Pay Tribute to the Vision of Ursula K. Le Guin. In choosing stories, I'll be looking for engaging, well-written short fiction, inclusive of authors from historically marginalized communities, that engages with various aspects of Le Guin’s work. —Susan DeFreitas, Editor
