To walk a street is to be told a story. Blue Moon over Thurman Street weaves a narrative of a particular street that reflects an American way of life. For more than twenty-five years, Ursula K. Le Guin has walked up and down Thurman Street in Portland, Oregon, listening to its story. In the mid-80s, she enlisted the creative talents of photographer Roger Dorband, and they collaborated to create this book. This is a story of “vigor and variety of aspect and season, of motion and intention, of building and decaying, of business and loitering, the lonesomeness and the sociability, the life of the street.”

Includes poetry, narrative, and photographs.

Ursula K. Le Guin has published more than eighty short stories, two collections of essays, three volumes of poetry, and eighteen novels.

Roger Dorband is a professional photographer and artist. His work is exhibited nationally in a variety of media, including photos, sculpture, collage, drawing, and printmaking.
