What poems can I compare to 'Dolphins' by Carol Ann Duffy, such that their themes coincide but the message conveyed is (slightly or majorly) different?
@ChristopheStrobbe OK, I got an answer back: a good starting point for Le Guin would be either the Earthsea series (epic fantasy) or The Word for World is Forest (which is more science fiction). As Gareth said, the Earthsea books should be read in order.

@Ash Whaaaaat.
This got self-deleted but seems like a good question. @BESW @Christophe @Gareth Anyone else want to cast undelete votes?
