BOA Editions · "From Here to There" by Naomi Shihab Nye Poet, teacher, essayist, anthologist, songwriter and singer, Naomi Shihab Nye is one of the country's most acclaimed writers. Her voice is generous; her vision true; her subjects ordinary people, and ordinary situations which, when rendered through her language, become remarkable. In this, her fourth full collection of poetry, we see with new eyes-a grandmother's scarf, an alarm clock, a man carrying his son on his shoulders. Excerpt from "Next Time"Ginko trees live 1,000 years. Eating the leaves will clear your brain. When I heard about them, I thought of my mother,how much I would like to sit under one with herin the ancient shade, nibbling the flesh, the stem, the central vein.   Publishing Date: November 1994Paperback ISBN: 1-880238-15-2©BOA Editions, Ltd 1994
