    Extractions: reprinted from Aramco World, Jan/Feb 1998 April will be a big month for Naomi Shihab Nye. Her anthology of contemporary Middle Eastern poetry and art, The Space Between Our Footsteps, will be published by Simon and Schuster; a book of her own poems, Fuel, will be released by BOA Editions, Ltd. and The Way It Is, a book of poems by her friend and mentor, the late William Stafford, for which she wrote the introduction, is also slated for publication. The Space Between Our Footsteps, Nye explains, is the first such anthology accessible to teenage readers. "I checked in high-school libraries throughout the country, and with the exception of my own anthology of international poets, This Same Sky, there was no book containing the works of Middle Eastern poets," she says. The 40 color paintings and other art in the book were selected from thousands of submissions by Arab-American and Middle Eastern artists. "My editor called me in San Antonio and told me to come to New York and start making selections," she recalls. "It was amazing when I entered a conference room and found stacks of boxes. It was difficult to choose from such out standing original work." Alert and energetic, Nye makes it clear she prefers simple food, natural wood, hand-woven fabric and lived-in dwellings. She and her husband, Michael, live with their 10-year-old son, Madison White Cloud, in a small 1906 frame house in a Mexican- American neighborhood near the Guadalupe River in San Antonio, Texas. Nye's father, Aziz Shihab, worked for years as a writer at the

Desirable Daughters , her most recent novel, has been compared to The Joy Luck Club in its honest portrayal of the American immigrant experience; William Kennedy calls it "a beautifully written family story of the eternal pull of ancient Indian tradition on even the most contemporary of lives." Robert Olen Butler writes, "Mukherjee is writing achingly compassionate, ravishingly beautiful, absolutely essential books. And Desirable Daughters is one of her best." She teaches English at the University of California at Berkeley.

Witness the election, or rather, non-election, of our present president.

    Extractions: True Blue Each month we offer a focus on a particular author or artist. Sometimes we use this space to discuss a rising new talent or an established star, but we also like to celebrate those who now live on only in the rich legacy of their books. See the archive for focus pieces from previous months. I had the pleasure of seeing Naomi Shihab Nye when she addressed the Champaign Children's Literature Festival as the keynote speaker in fall of 2001. Her presence was calm and clear, like a still pool of water, and her manner of speaking was soft and low, but her words were passionate as she spoke of her love of poetry and the power of the written and spoken word to uplift us all. Nye's career as a poet was solidly established with her poetry written for adults long before she came back to the remembered delights of children's literature as an author. She describes the birth of her own child as one step in this return: "One of the delights of having our son was that it was now legitimate for me to return to that part of the library I so loved when I was young." In her poetry, Nye captures everyday details of life in all their simplicity and complexity. She balances her own perspective with a keen sense of the impact of details in the life of a child, which gives her work immediate accessibility for a young audience. In her poem Spinning (from the book

Date: April 2002 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers ISBN: Book Review Customer Reviews (from Amazon.com) Review #1 Ranking 5 This collection is a perfect example of the ability of a gifted poet to communicate hard truths simply. Each piece is a work of art and sings in the voices of immigrants and immigrants' children and with the rhythms of life in the Middle East. Don't buy this book expecting to find a treatise on terrorism or the events of September 11. Buy it to see through another's eyes and sing in another's voice. This is a fantastic book in its own right and a great introduction to the talent and skill of Naomi Shihab Nye. Review #2 Ranking 5 this book was recommended to me by a friend, so i wasn't sure what to expect. i am really glad to have bought it, the poems are like little stories someone tells you on the porch while it's getting dark. very vivid, i felt as if i knew these people...fathers, mothers, grandmothers, schoolchildren, old arab men selling crafts...

    Extractions: Echoes Main Biography Sample Poetry Inspired Poems ... Bibliography The Poetic World of Naomi Shihab Nye Descending from a half-Palestinian and half-American family tree, Naomi Shihab Nye is an appealing figure paving the way for ethnic poets and young poets alike. Although she was born in Missouri, she is well traveled. She lived in Jerusalem but currently resides in Texas with her son, Madison, and husband, Michael, who is a photographer. The fact that Nye originated from such a transient and ethnic family acted as a springboard for her future career as an author. She is known for her essays and anthologies of the Middle East, which includes, perhaps her most famous Middle Eastern based anthology, Different Ways to Pray , published in 1980. Howe ver, despite her wide range of exposures to other cultures, Naomi Shihab Nye often chooses to write about the little details of life that we often take for granted. She says that she wanted to remember all of the details in her eventful and fruitful life. Consequentially, she keeps a journal. She has had a hunger to write poetry since seven years of age, when she composed her first poem. Since then she received an education from Trinity University located in Texas, along with many awards. Her works Different Ways to Pray and Hugging the Jukebox won the Voertman Poetry Prize. She has also earned three Pushcart Prizes. Her books

    Extractions: they breathe. In “My Friend’s Divorce,” Naomi Shihab Nye shows how one must persevere during all occasions and hardships by paralleling her friend’s life to her garden. She consoles her distressed friend by advising her to replant her beloved garden. “Take the blooming/ and the almost blooming/ and the dormant/ especially the dormant/ and then/ and then/ plant them in her new yard/ on the other side/ of town/ and see how/ they breathe.” This quote clearly expresses Nye’s desire to detach all aspects of her friend from her past. She suggests her friend should replenish herself in the future by creating a fresh environment in which she can establish sturdy roots and blossom into a new beginning. Thus the garden symbolizes her friend’s life. Through Nye’s vivid description and symbolism, she reminds us that we all have a garden, which we must constantly maintain to allow it to fully bloom.
