An Evening of Poetry with Naomi Shihab Nye

Writer and poet Naomi Shihab Nye will read from her poetry and answer questions from the audience. The event is free and open to the public. A love offering will be taken.

Naomi is a Palestinian-American poet, editor, songwriter, and novelist, who composed her first poetry when she was six years old. She has written over 35 books, and received numerous awards. In 2019, the Poetry Foundation designated Nye their Young People's Poet Laureate for the 2019–21 term. The foundation's announcement characterized Nye's writing style as one that "moves seamlessly between ages in a way that is accessible, warm, and sophisticated even for the youngest of readers.”
