The United States Postal Service has announced its latest batch of stamp art, including one honoring science fiction luminary Ursula K. Le Guin by artist Donato Giancola, which will be released later this year.
The stamp, the Postal Service says in its release, is the 33rd installment of its Literary Arts series, which has featured such authors as F. Scott Fitzgerald (1996), Mark Twain (2011), and Walt Whitman (2019). The stamp features a portrait of Le Guin taken from a 2006 photograph, as well as a scene from her famous novel
The Left Hand of Darkness.
We are delighted to announce that the 33rd stamp in the US Postal Service Literary Arts series honors Ursula. Stamp release will be later this year, date TBD. From then on, all our letters will be three ounces! Thank you @USPS for this distinction. https://t.co/H0jw1KmhUbpic.twitter.com/NA8Yz7I7fl
