Book: Fuel A collection of poems that find meaning in a world where we are "so tired of meaning nothing", "Fuel" covers topics ranging from the border families of southern Texas to small ferns and forgotten books to Jews and Palestinians in the Middle East.
In the poem, "Bill's Beans", dedicated to her mentor William Stafford, Naomi Shihab Nye writes of finding beans, "under the leaves, they're secretly long and curling./ I pull a perfect question mark and two lean twins, / feeling the magnetic snap of stem, the ripened weight". In this poetry collection, Nye continually shows us how to look "under the leaves" as she writes on topics ranging from the border families of southern Texas, small ferns and forgotten books, to Jews and Palestinians in the Middle East.
