SUMMARY:An Evening of Poetry with Naomi Shihab Nye
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with acclaimed Palestinian-American poet\, essayist\, and educator Naomi Shihab Nye as she reads from her new collection\, Sidekick. \nSidekick stands as a testament to poetry’s enduring power to bear witness. With each poem\, Nye affirms a truth that feels more urgent than ever: every human being deserves safety\, dignity\, and peace. \nDrawing on her family’s deep roots in Palestine\, Nye writes with both abiding love and immeasurable heartbreak\, offering intimate reflections that illuminate the human cost of conflict. Long a champion of dialogue across borders and divides\, she crafts poems that are direct\, conversational\, and unafraid to confront the systems and structures that perpetuate harm. \nThrough her signature blend of candor\, lyrical grace\, and careful attention to everyday lives\, Nye offers a collection that urges readers to look more closely\, feel more deeply\, and imagine a world in which we refuse to turn away from one another. \nCopies of Sidekick will be available for purchase at the event through Interabang Books. \nAbout the Author \nNaomi Shihab Nye is the author and/or editor of more than thirty volumes including five collections of poetry from Boa Editions: Red Suitcase (1994)\, Fuel (1998)\, You & Yours (2005)\, Transfer (2011)\, and The Tiny Journalist (2019). She has been a Lannan Fellow\, a Guggenheim Fellow and a Witter Bynner Fellow. Nye has received the Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets\, the Texas Writer Award 2024\, and Lifetime Achievement Awards from The Texas Institute of Letters\, the Arab American National Museum\, and the National Book Critics Circle. She lives in San Antonio\, TX.
