Voices in the Air: Poems for Listeners by Naomi Shihab Nye weaves the experience of being human in an often inhumane world through poems that entice, invite, and challenge the reader to think and to feel. Nye writes for and about people, both those who are well-known and those who aren't, with equal intimacy and universality. Nye transports the reader to myriad places around the world including Palestine connecting places and people through their similarities and their differences. Voices in the Air whispers through place, time, and life with reminders of how connected we all are making our interactions all the more important in their ability to impact the world we inhabit.
