Poems by Naomi Shihab Nye
Naomi Shihab Nye, is an American, an Arab, a Poet, a parent, a woman of Texas, a woman of ideas. The daughter of a Palestinian father and an American mother, she's lived in old Jerusalem, in St. Louis, and now with her own family in San Antonio, Texas.
My Father and the Fig Tree For other fruits, my father was indifferent.
He'd point at the cherry trees and say,
"See those? I wish they were figs."
In the evening he sat by my beds
weaving folktales like vivid little scarves.
They always involved a figtree.
Even when it didn't fit, he'd stick it in. Once Joha was walking down the road and he saw a fig tree. Or, he tied his camel to a fig tree and went to sleep. Or, later when they caught and arrested him, his pockets were full of figs. At age six I ate a dried fig and shrugged. "That's not what I'm talking about! he said, I'm talking about picking the largest, fattest

Naomi Shihab Nye
by Mindy S. Howie Anyone who feels poetry is an alien or ominous force should consider the style in which human beings think. 'How do you think?' I ask my students. 'Do you think in complete, elaborate sentences? In fully developed paragraphs with careful footnotes? Or in flashes and bursts of images, snatches of lines leaping one to the next, descriptive fragments, sensory details?' We think in poetry. But some people pretend poetry is far away. Naomi Shihab NyeALAN Review Web site Naomi Shihab Nye was born on March 12, 1952, in St. Louis, Missouri to an American mother and a Palestinian father. At the age of seven, she published her first poem, and at age 14, her family moved to Jerusalem, where she attended a year of high school. Her family then moved to San Antonio, Texas, where she lives today with her husband and son. In her writing, she draws on the voices of the Mexican-Americans that live near her, as well as the perspectives of Arab-Americans like herself and the ideas and practices of the different local subcultures of America. Nye has gained a reputation for poetry that shows ordinary events, people and objects from a new perspective. She says, "For me the primary source of poetry has always been local life, random characters met on the streets, our own ancestry sifting down to us through small essential daily tasks" (Contemporary Authors).

Naomi Shihab Nye Rain A teacher asked Paul what he would remember from third grade, and he sat a long time before writing "this year somebody tutched me on the sholder" and turned his paper in. Later she showed it to me as an example of her wasted life. The words he wrote were large as houses in a landscape. He wanted to go inside them and live, he could fill in the windows of "o" and "d" and be safe while outside birds building nests in drainpipes knew nothing of the coming rain.

One by one
the old people
of our neighborhood
are going up
into the air
How did you get the idea for this poem?
their yards
still wear
small white narcissus
sweetening winter
What does "going up/into the air" mean?
their stones glisten under the sun but one by one we are losing their housecoats their formal phrasings their cupcakes How/why does the speaker move from "we" to "I" after stanza three? When I string their names on the long cord when I think how there is almost no one left who remembers what stood in that brushy spot ninety years ago What connection is made between the old people and the speaker when she is also up in the air near the end of the poem? when I pass their yards and the bare peach tree bends a little when I see their rusted chairs sitting in the same spots what will be forgotten falls over me like the sky over our whole neighborhood or the time my plane circled high above our street the roof of our house dotting the tiniest "i"

Links Naomi Shihab Nye Naomi Shihab Nye was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1952, to a Palestinian father and an American mother. She received her B.A. from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, where she still resides with her family. Nye’s poetry, which draws its strength from ordinary people and events and has become increasingly political in recent years, has been widely published throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. She has twice traveled to the Middle East and Asia for the United States Information Agency, promoting international goodwill through the arts. A passionate advocate of freedom through peace, she recently addressed her Arab brothers and sisters, writing, “Our hearts are broken, as yours may also feel broken in some ways we can’t understand, unless you tell us in words. Killing people won’t tell us. We can’t read that message. Find another way to live. . . . Read Rumi. Read Arabic poetry. Poetry humanizes us in a way that news, or even religion, has a harder time doing.” Her books include 19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East (Greenwillow Books, 2002)

Nye is an Arab American author and anthologist, and, as in her fine essay collection, Never in a Hurry (1996), she writes from a unique perspective, as the American newcomer/observer and as the displaced Palestinian in occupied territory. The story is steeped in detail about the place and cultures: food, geography, history, shopping, schools, languages, religions, etc. Just when you think it is obtrusive to have essays and journal entries thrust into the story, you get caught up in the ideas and the direct simplicity with which Nye speaks. She does try to cover too muchno book can tell the whole story of the Middle Eastbut this is a story that makes us "look both ways."
