<i>Illuminating Texts</i>: Naomi Shihab Nye and her Palestinian-Influenced Writings

  • John David Brantley Trinity University, Texas

Περίληψη

n her poetry and in her stories Nye uses our senses to take us to people and experiences that we would otherwise never know: the strange becomes familiar, the stranger becomes a friend. She shows us that beyond all the distinctions we make between ourselves and "the others" there is always the daily activity that makes life: the tree that needs climbing, the stone to throw, the bread to bake.
