Honoring the Mystery of Experience (Naomi Shihab Nye)‪.‬

"Poetry is not a riddle to be solved; the question is not `Did you get it?' Rather, a little mystery in poetry is fine. We don't have to understand everything." With these words, Naomi Shihab Nye sets each of us free to re-experience once again the joys and pains, the images and layers within, the flashes of poetry. Poetry is at the core of much of Nye's work from her own writing to the delightful collections she has edited over the years. This past spring, Naomi took time from her hectic writing and speaking schedule to answer a few questions for our readers. TL:
