"One Boy Told Me": Naomi Shihab Nye

       The link below will take you to a delightful, brief performance.  My daughter Elizabeth and I witnessed it in person at the Dodge Poetry Festival a few years ago.

       What it took was one of the most wonderful people, one of the best poets, one of the finest teachers (all the same individual), and one of the most delicious little poems you will ever hear.

       This particular audience is high school English classes and their teachers.  I'm sure no one there that day left unaffected by Naomi Shihab Nye.  Elizabeth and I were blessed to have happened upon it as our first event at the biennial Dodge Festival of poetry and poets in New Jersey.
