POETRY REVIEWS WESTERN MASS

I went to hear Naomi Shihab Nye at Smith College on April 3, 2007. What a pleasure to experience her sincere, poignant and image rich poetry, peppered with humor. I was particularly touched by her narratives of women in war and her anecdotes of her life. She told us that when we need to look at language in a new way we should talk to people older than ninety and to children under three. This was a delightful, moving and inspiring evening.
