7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2018 Le Guin: She often incorporated Cannon Beach into her poems Continued from Page 1A The author’s success was immediate. Science fiction opened Le Guin up to writing not only about aliens but from “alien” points of view, The New Yorker wrote in a 2017 profile. From ‘Searoad’ to Cannon Beach Le Guin’s literary output — poems, short stories, children’s books, novels — often depicts futuristic worlds, using fantasy settings and tropes to confront serious human issues: politics, spirituality, environmentalism, then-Cannon Beach Gazette reporter Erick Bengel wrote in a 2014 profile. She often incorporated Cannon Beach into her poems, sometimes by name and other times through coastal imagery. “I loved it from the start,” Le Guin said in a 2017 inter- view. “Way, way back, in the ’60s. It was a little artists’ hide- away town. The sculptor Joe Police was mayor. There were no mega-mansions owned by out-of-state millionaires, no big ugly cement walls on North Beach, it had its own hardware stores and indie drugstore and Osborne’s excellent grocery. It was more self-contained and a good deal, well, gnarlier. But it’s still pretty gnarly, thank goodness.” Jack Liu Ursula K. Le Guin speaking at the University of Oregon in Eugene in 2013. Her 1991 novel, “Searoad: Chronicles of Klatsand,” por- trayed a community that resembled Cannon Beach. The novel is chock-a-block with familiar imagery: the kite shop, the year-round Christ- mas store, Tom’s Grill and the volunteer library. “I mentioned Cannon Beach in one of the stories so that people would know that Klatsand is NOT (quite) CB,” Le Guin wrote in a 2017 email. “Klatsand has a lot of elements of CB, but it also has bits of Seaside and Manzanita and Nehalem.” Rex and Diane Amos of Cannon Beach met the Le Guins when they visited their house in Northwest Portland to share a mutual love of music. “Diane brought her upstairs to meet me and to give her a tour of the house,” Amos recalled. “When we met, Ursula asked me about my art. I told her that many people found my stuff radical and pro- voking. She laughed and said, ‘Good, we need more of that. Keep it up.’ Of course, for that bit of encouragement I liked her immediately.” ‘Strong values’ Le Guin became a part of Ayres’ life after Le Guin moved into the same neigh- borhood as her grandparents decades ago. For Ayres, Le Guin’s poi- gnant sense of humor paired with a “clear, uncompromising voice,” impacted the literary community and community at large in “a giant way.” “She spoke her truth,” Ayres said. “I would say it was her and Terry Brooks: Those were our two literary luminar- ies from Cannon Beach.” Ayres said Le Guin’s voice when it came to writing about women offered clarity in her own life. Cannon Beach resident Rainmar Bartl remembers Le Guin and her husband stopping by a weekly community coffee that happens at Cheri’s Cafe whenever she was in town. Bartl remembers her as a “very unpresuming person” with “very strong values.” Though she didn’t live on the coast, she cared about Can- non Beach and took an interest in city affairs, Bartl said. “She was very generous with her time, especially as someone at this level of world renown. I remember she would come and give talks, read from her books. She would make herself available for these community events when she could.” Le Guin publicly supported an immigrant inclusivity reso- lution that ultimately was pre- sented and passed by the city in 2017. “It is unfortunate that our current federal government, by attempting to enforce policies that deny the very principles our republic is founded on, makes such a resolution neces- sary,” Le Guin said in an inter- view with the Cannon Beach Gazette. ‘Freedom’ In later years, Le Guin’s work became increasingly political. At 85, she was the sur- prise star of the National Book Awards in 2014 with a speech that encouraged people to be masters of their own des- tiny, like a Le Guin character whose dreams can alter reality. Le Guin was given the Medal for Distinguished Con- tribution to American Let- ters. She accepted the medal on behalf of her fellow writ- ers of fantasy and science fic- tion, who, she said, had been “excluded from literature for so long” while literary hon- ors went to the “so-called realists.” Her most recent book, “No Time to Spare: Think- ing About What Matters,” was released to widespread acclaim in December. It is Le Guin’s message to future generations of writ- ers and readers that will be remembered by her many fans. In the National Book Awards speech, she called upon her fellow artists to resist the temptation to kowtow to corporate pressures. Freedom, she said, will be their reward. The author received a standing ovation.
