| 1. |  | Habibi from Simon Pulse Price: $6.99 Customer Review:  I am reading this book, and it is honestly one of the worst books I've ever read. This is a great IDEA for a book, but it should have been written in first person, and there are mulpitle passages that are hard to understand the way they are worded, and it is really over-dramatic and corny in... |

| 2. |  | What Have You Lost? from HarperTeen Price: $8.79 Customer Review:  Everyone can relate to at least one of the poems in this book. The author takes a common thread (loss) and puts it between the cover of a very well compiled book. This is a wonderful book to have in your collection! |

| 4. |  | 19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East from HarperTeen Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I order many used books through Amazon, and have been very pleased with all the vendors I have ordered from. The books come in the condition as advertised, and I receive my orders in a timely manner. I am not only saving a great deal of money, but also time. I find out of print books that are just... |

| 5. |  | This Same Sky: A Collection of Poems from Around the World from Aladdin Price: $9.99 Customer Review:  English is a simplistic language when compared to a great many other languages. It simply doesn't have the same potential for subtle nuances, rhyming, and other things of that nature. With that in mind, it's always hit-or-miss as to whether a translated poem will carry the same impact in English as... |

| 6. |  | Words Under the Words: Selected Poems (A Far Corner Book) from The Eighth Mountain Press Price: $11.65 Customer Review: I was told about this book by a friend at an Artist Retreat. I had the opportunity to read a few poems by Naomi especially "Happiness". I was bowled away by the beauty and honesty of her work. I had to have a copy and ordered one as soon as I got to a computer. It was only later that I found out it... |

| 7. |  | Never in a Hurry: Essays on People and Places from University of South Carolina Press Price: $12.89 Customer Review: This is my favorite of Naomi Nye's books. She has such a gift for describing human experiences and some of her stories make me cry and laugh at the same time. |

| 8. |  | Sitti's Secrets (Aladdin Picture Books) from Aladdin Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I admit, I don't know too much about Palestinian culture aside from a highschool MUN event, but I was touched and appreciative of this book that combines modern and old culture as well as that wonderful bond of sisterhood between generations. The illustrations are gorgeous. |

| 9. |  | On Entering the Sea: The Erotic and Other Poetry of Nizar Qabbani (Poetry Series) from Interlink Publishing Group Price: $10.20 Customer Review: This book is a great intro to Mr. Qabbani's poetry. Everything about it is well done. Cover art, binding, paper stock. All excellent. This volume will have the reader searching for more of his work. |

| 10. |  | The Flag of Childhood: Poems From the Middle East from Aladdin Price: $5.99 Customer Review: Haunting, thoughtful, challenging poetry that created worlds of human experience in war. |

| 11. |  | The Tree Is Older Than You Are: A Bilingual Gathering of Poems & Stories from Mex from Simon Pulse Price: $11.29 Customer Review:  I made copies of some of the poems to put on the overhead for my classroom of middle school students. Some of my Spanish speakers "volunteered" (at my urging) to read aloud, and all the kids loved it! The art selections are appropriate and the readability level is good for this age (even in the... |

| 12. |  | Fuel: Poems by Naomi Shihab Nye from BOA Editions Ltd. Price: $12.41 Customer Review: Naomi Shihab Nye's poetry is truly great. I had the pleasure of doing a workshop with her at the Kentucky Women's Writers Conference last year, and I can tell you she really inspired the poet in me too. This is fine collection. |

| 13. |  | The Space Between Our Footsteps: Poems and Paintings from the Middle East from Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Price: $16.76 Customer Review: We are living in a time where being Arab, Muslim, or Southeast Asian makes one a "terror suspect." In this age of fear and ignorance, it is more important than ever for educators and readers of poetry to take a look at Nye's touching portraits of Arab and Arab American life. If these poems reveal... |

| 14. |  | Between Mothers and Sons: Women Writers Talk about Having Sons and Raising Men from Scribner Customer Review: I found this anthology wonderfully refreshing, and very validating. It gives affirmation to the intense emotional endeavor of raising a young man, and allows a communal feeling with other mothers on the same journey. The stories are poignantly shared, and are passionately detailed. I recommend this... |

| 15. |  | A Maze Me: Poems for Girls from HarperTeen Price: $12.74 Customer Review: I bought this book at an airport for my daughter- but I read it out loud to her and her little brother, and we all enjoyed it. The poems are fun and sad and funny and insightful. It led me to seek out other works by Nye and I've enjoyed them all. |

| 16. |  | I'll Ask You Three Times, Are You OK?: Tales of Driving and Being Driven from HarperTeen Price: $10.87 Customer Review: This latest book by Naomi Shihab Nye is warm and funny and endlessly entertaining. It is always such a pleasure to be in the company of Naomi Nye as she looks at our world. In this collection of vignettes, Naomi takes us traveling across the US and around the world. From the back seats of taxis and... |

There is something in the 300 plus poems by 94 of America's best poets that will appeal to virtually any reader remotely interested in poetry. The reader can sample the works... |

| 18. |  | Come With Me : Poems for a Journey from Greenwillow Price: $13.49 Customer Review: Besides Nye's breathtaking poems, the illustrations in Come With Me: Poems for a Journey are amazing. Dan Yaccarina fills Nye's book with spectacular images that amaze the eyes and bedazzle the senses. Yaccarina's use of color, shape, and texture help make Nye's creation a masterpiece. Nye's... |

| 19. |  | Between Heaven and Texas from University of Texas Press Price: $25.51 Customer Review: This book is unusal because it is photographs of the sky as it goes through different types of weather conditions. The photographs are beautiful and faith building. |

| 20. |  | Going Going from HarperTeen Price: $14.39 Customer Review: I may be prejudiced, since I am a fan of Nye's poetry. Or I may be prejudiced because I, like the central character in this novel, love old neighborhoods and believe the ubiquitous, china-shipping strip-mall school of architecture is slowly killing our souls. Unlike some previous reviewers, I found... |

| 21. |  | I Feel a Little Jumpy Around You : A Book of Her Poems & His Poems Collected in Pairs from Simon Pulse Price: $14.20 Customer Review: I like poetry, but the poems in this book are all written in the same style. There is no creativity shown, and no real variation. I have yet to find a person who liked this book. "Jump city", the poem from which the title was drawn, is the second worst poem I have ever read. |

| 22. |  | Salting the Ocean: 100 Poems by Young Poets from Greenwillow Price: $14.39 Customer Review: This book is a good compilation of children's poetry about self, environment, family, and imagination. As a teacher, I found it to be a good resource to get my students thinking creatively/"outside the box" when delving into the poetic realm. |

| 23. |  | Editor's Choice II: Fiction, Poetry & Art from the U.S. Small Press, 1978-1983 (Contemporary Anthology Series, No 6) from The Spirit That Moves Us Press Price: $17.50 | |
| 24. |  | Mint Snowball from Anhinga Press Price: $12.00 Customer Review: As my prof pointed out, it's too random at times. Very sensual details and lovely images, but somehow falls into the personal, over-serious sense of self-grandeur that some writers get (men and women, and before you go bouncing around, I'm a lady, y'all) |

| 25. |  | You and Yours (American Poets Continuum) from BOA Editions Ltd. Price: $12.80 Customer Review: I met NSN through Bill Moyer's The Language of Life series and have been a fan ever since. She is a poetry superstar, but she's not the sort of poetry superstar you'd put on a pedastal. She's the kind you'd invite into you kitchen to talk about current events on a truly fundamental, human level --... |

| 26. |  | Red Suitcase (American Poets Continuum) from BOA Editions Ltd. Price: $12.40 Customer Review: Nye is amazing, both in person and in her books. She is kind and quiet and elogent and haunting with her words. Her poem, Next Time, is my favorite. It's simple and short and one of those poems that is much bigger than it's words. I find it repeating in my head from time to time. Nye is gifted and... |
