Packed with fine insights perfect for high school to college-level classroom debate
Clowns and Rats Scare Me belongs in any library strong in public affairs and politics, offering essays gathered from some 13 years worth of columns by Cary Clack. From seeking a return to normal after 9/11 to why Malcolm X was feared in America, Clowns and Rats Scare Me is packed with fine insights perfect for high school to college-level classroom debate.

Great reading...
Cary Clack's book is a educational and entertaining book which can be enjoyed by all. His daily columns in the San Antonio Express News are great reading, and I clip many of them to put into his book. You can read one or two columns at a time, and then come back to read more....a great book!

Cary Clack
This is a "must have" for Cary Clack fans.It's basically the best of his columns from over the last decade or so. For those who are not familiar with Cary Clack, all I can say is this: he's the only reason the San Antonio Express News still has a readership. His columns are cleverly worded, poignant, well-thought out and just good reading. He's too good for the SA Express, but don't tell him that or we might lose him. I bought this book for my mom (another Clack fan) and read as much as I could before wrapping it up and giving it to her for Mother's Day.

CARY CLACK IS AMAZING!
As I read this book, I found myself feeling a new emotion with each story.This book is as diverse as Clack's writing talent.There are serious stories about child abuse, politics, music, sports, racism, and many other subjects as well as humorous stories that had me laughing out loud.What makes Clack so unique and what I appreciate the most is that he consistently offers his readers a new perspective.Clack is fair and doesn't follow others.This book is a great collection of his work and has left me wanting more.I look forward to Book 2, Book 3... ...

Product Description
Some of you may have encountered a wee chapbook ofparagraphs from State Street Press called MINT that was first printedin 1991.This gathering contains some (not all) of those same piecesas well as more recent ones.

That collection contained the following Author’s Note:

“I think of these pieces as being simple paragraphs rather thanprose poems, though a few might sneak into the prose poem category,were they traveling on their own.The paragraph, standing by itself,has a lovely pocket-sized quality.It garnishes the page, as mintgarnishes a plate.Many people say (foolishly, of course), theydon’t like poetry, but I’ve never heard anyone say that theydon’t like paragraphs.It would be like disliking five-minuteincrements on the clock.”

Well, I stand by that.I still think of these little things we writeas being paragraphs, in all their honorable, minor dignity, and Istill believe the paragraph form has something larger to give us, ifwe let it.And, I am still having trouble, in my drought-strickenTexas earth, growing the lavish, meandering mint bed I would like togrow.

In a a wonderous bedtime tale for young children, a little child, a chicken, a lizard, and a turtle say good-night to their quiet town and begin their adventure in the world of dreams on the lullaby raft."Amazon.com Review
Lullaby Raft was originally a song that creator Naomi Shihab Nye performed herself on tour around schools. A talented musician, Nye is also the award-winning author of Sitti's Secretsand Benito's Dream Bottle. Happily, the words of "Lullaby Raft" are now captured in this warmly illustrated bedtime book, sure to generate only good dreams.

The little girl in this story drifts into a peaceful slumber as her mother sings. In her dream, even her animals (a rabbit, chicken, lizard, and turtle) are carried away on the notes of the lullaby. Together they climb aboard a crescent-shaped moon raft, floating high above the rooftops and clouds, spanning the wide night until morning. Vivienne Flesher's restful, artful chalk-pastel illustrations complement the softly worded prose: "My bunny climbs into my drawer/Where the socks are soft and rolled/My bunny holds her secret note/ No one can hear." A truly comforting book for sleepy youngsters. (Ages 4 to 8) ... Read more

Teen poets at their finest
When I saw Time You Let Me In highlighted in a recent review journal, I knew I would find some real gold in here (especially given the respect that editor Naomi Shihab Nye commands). And let me say, this collection does not disappoint.

Nye brings together 26 poets, all under the age of 25, in a collection of moving, insightful, and beautiful poems that cover the spectrum of topics, styles, and voices. Each poet and each poem is unique, with the sort of artistic eye only people who are under 25 can bring. I say that as a 25 year old, which makes it legitimate, right?

A review I read of this title criticized the voices in Time You Let Me In as "young." I would hope so. The insights one gets in poetry from the youth perspective is just as important as the "established" poet (i.e., your old white men to whom you are comparing these poems to). I'll be honest in saying I never once felt I was reading teen angst poems.

Highlights for me included Chase Berggrum's short and pointed pieces, Gray Emerson's disregard for traditional stylings and zesty word play, Margaret Bashaar's treatment of humor and romance (perhaps one in the same), and -- perhaps my favorite -- Kayla Sargenson's grandfather memories. Sargenson has a very powerful poem equating rape with New Orleans that will haunt me for a while, and thanks to the masterful editing job by Nye, I was able to read the next selection of Sargenson's "The Happiest Moment of My Life was When I Realized I was Happy" a little bit differently.

Anyone who has a background in poetry knows one of the biggest challenges in collecting works is exactly how they will progress within a volume. It is a struggle, as your reading of one poem will inform, enhance, or detract meaning from poems following. Nye deserves the highest praises for balancing the order with meaning.

Accessible To Everyone
I am a simple person.I often find poetry mysterious and unattainable.However, I loved this collection of poems.It is inspiring to see such talent in young authors, especially in a culture so distracted by celebrities and video games.

Of special note, I am amazed at the works by Jocelyn Stott and I look forward to see if she publishes anything else.

A glimpse of true emotions
Reviewed by McKenzie Tritt (age 16) for Reader Views (05/10)

Naomi Shihab Nye, a poet herself, has created several honored poetry collections, as well as received several awards for her writing. In "Time You Let Me In: 25 Poets Under 25," Nye has compiled poets and their works into a collection of poetry about all that life offers. The number of poets, however, is actually twenty-six. Nye claims that she had always been good with words and bad with numbers, hence the addition of another poet.

"Time You Let Me In" encompasses adults from all walks of life, each telling their own story. Some are related in their subjects, talking about love or war, while others are unrelated, relaying their thoughts on shooting ranges and flying. Either way, all the poets wish to give you a glimpse into their world, to learn a lesson, take away a piece of advice, or simply to enjoy honest poetry.

Each poet had their own section in the book, along with a short biography. It was fun to learn of their little quirks and interesting facts. Each person had a different style. Some were serious; others were fun, while still others wrote in both tones. It was enjoyable to switch form one tone to the next, soaking up each individual's thoughts and emotions.

The poets offer up gorgeous lines like" your blue/is my turquoise and my orange/is your gold" and in the slivered space/a flash between soul." One of my favorites was called "The Indexer in Love," which was a cute, creative way of expressing love and all that comes along with it.

I highly enjoyed the ups and downs of "Time You Let Me In: 25 Poets Under 25." I looked forward to reading a new individual's poems and seeing how their style was different from others. The poems speak of hopelessness and despair, but also of joy and comfort, creating a thoughtful balance between the opposite emotions. I recommend "Time You Let Me In" to older teens and adults, as some of the content it best suited and understood by older audiences. I encourage those who want to read good poetry or anyone looking for a glimpse of true emotions to pick this up.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Naomi Shihab Nye has been writing poetry for a long time. An excellent poet in her own right, it seems only fitting that Nye should choose twenty-five poets and compile their writings into a single volume.

All of these aspiring authors are under the age of twenty-five. Their poems speak of many things - love, loss, culture, war, belonging, and being remembered.

Each author possesses his/her own unique style and flow. Their offerings range from free verse rantings to odes about hair to indexes on love. They use phrases like "pulled your heart like a heavy plate from the cabinet of your chest" and "I'm writing to your soul because your body is ashes."

Their words will resonate with those who are young. These authors are full of hope, and their poetry conveys this in every word, sentence, and stanza. I highly suggest adding this poetry collection to any library where young people are patrons.

In an unparalleled collection, honored anthologist Naomi Shihab Nye brings together the work of over 120 poets and artists from 19 countries in the Middle East. In turn compelling, lyrical, tragic and humorous, this rich anthology opens the door to the Middle East and beckons readers to explore our common ground. Full-color illustrations.Amazon.com Review
"Poetry is a river / And solitude a bridge. / Throughwriting / We cross it, / Through reading / We Return." So writesLebanese poet Kaissar Afif in Naomi Shihab Nye's aestheticallystunning anthology of poetry and paintings from the Middle East,The Space Between Our Footsteps. As Afif's poem beckons, sodoes Nye, inviting readers into a lush, vivid world in which more than100 poets from 19 different Middle Eastern countries share theirinnermost feelings about place, family, war, and peace, scattered amidpaintings reflecting pain, hope, and joy with rich, bold strokes.

Palestinian American poet, novelist, and anthologist Nye has made aname for herself with critically acclaimed books such as theautobiographical novel Habibi and thestriking poetry collections This Same Sky andI Feel a Little JumpyAround You. This anthology rivals her previous work in bothbeauty and inspiration, and was nominated by the Young Adult LibraryServices Association as one of 1998's Best Books for Young Adults.

But this collection is not for teens only. The personal yet universalsentiments expressed in these poems and paintings will pierce heartsof all ages--as in Sharif S. Elmusa's "But I Heard theDrops": "My father had a reservoir / of tears. / Theytrickled down / unseen. / But I heard the drops / drip/from his voice/ like drops / from a loosened tap. / For thirty years I heardthem."

Amazing and poignant poetry and art
The art and poetry throughout is beautiful, poignant, and contextual to a culture that is mostly foreign to an American audience. Nye is correct regarding the American sentiment of the Middle East and Muslims, and her attempt to ratify that, while somewhat lofty, is still admirable all the same. The poetry collected reveals something about people's hearts, loves, dreams, hates, and fears that media cannot. Much of the writing is so fiercely honest that one can't help but to feel drawn into the narrative of the people in a way that bridges the gap of religion, distance, and culture. I recommend this to all readers, because I believe that anyone who reads it will be positively changed by the poetry within, and hopefully the attempts toward peace and understanding will continue to move forward.

-Lindsey Miller, lindseyslibrary

Naomi Shihab Nye is a philanthropist, poet, educator...
We are living in a time where being Arab, Muslim, or Southeast Asian makes one a "terror suspect." In this age of fear and ignorance, it is more important than ever for educators and readers of poetry to take a look at Nye's touching portraits of Arab and Arab American life. If these poems reveal the beauty, intelligence, and vitality of Arab and Arab Americans, then -- to the seething reader from Denver, CO-- you may find Nye guilty of being truthful: All human life is precious, and all human beings are capable of exceeding our expectations.

I first fell in love with Nye's poetry through "The Words Beneath the Words" and recommend all of her works. Educators, activists, lovers of poetry, please read and share Nye's work. They are more important then ever in creating peaceful relationships for the future.

Looking at the space between our footsteps
This is a wonderful book. It is full of the imagery and feelings that in turn, delight, amuse and sadden. Naomi Nye has compiled a collection of writers from various countries within the Middle East. Although the writers come from many countries and competing nationalities, there is a common commitment to peace.Since the poems are translated,rather than presented in the original languages, the reader does not have the benefit of the natural rhythms of the languages the poems were taken from. What the translations lack in terms of rhyme is more than made up by the poets' use of Metaphor. One poet talks about "drinking in the melancholy of morning". Another talks about being passed by trains with eyes looking back at you. The language is effective and persuasive.Many of the poems deal with loss. They deal with the loss of loved ones, the loss of time, the loss of relationships, but more importantly, they deal with the loss of basic human rights and something as basic as a homeland. The book has many fine paintings that supplement the text. They are all very well done and add to the feeling of the book. The reader of this book will not only read, but will also have an experience. All the senses except hearing will be involved. I recommend this book to anyone, particularly to Young Adults.

Beautiful and sensitive collection not just for children
This book has room in its heart for the passions and longings of writers from all of the Middle East.It offers readers, in beautiful poetry, the longings for place, for a loved past, for a more secure future, felt byLebanese, Syrians, Israelis, Turks, Palestinians, Iraqis, Saudis,Egyptians, and more. Meticulously designed and printed, it offers art fromacross the Middle East that illuminates these poems and helps us learn withour children important lessons about that part of the world.

An exquisite book, and not just for kids.
I bought this book from amazon.com, fell in love with it & wrote the following review for The Capital Times, Madison WI's afternoon newspaper:

That this exquisitely beautiful, painfully direct and ultimately joyful book, "The Space Between Our Footsteps,'' is published under the imprint of Simon & Schuster's Books for Young Readers is an example of how badly we adults need to learn the lessons we try to teach our children.

The poems and paintings of more than 100 writers and artists from 19 countries are loosely grouped by theme,without a condescending preface or explanations of how to feel when we read or view them...This book is an ideal gift for anyone old enough to read "The Diary of Anne Frank,'' and to know that just as, for Anne, life went on as war went on, so it does today. It is for anyone who thinks he or she understands the conflicts in the Middle East, and for anyone whose life needs a sudden rush of beauty.

This is a lousy book!
I like poetry, but the poems in this book are all written in the same style. There is no creativity shown, and no real variation. I have yet to find a person who liked this book. "Jump city", the poem from which the title was drawn, is the second worst poem I have ever read.

Poems,...
I suppose the reason I really didn't like this book was because I am not a fan of peotry. I prefer fiction novels, mysteries, adventures, etc. I did however appreciate the whole background of why the book was put together.

I feel A Little Jumpy Around You (poetry)
I enjoyed this books unique theme of giving two sides on the same topic.There is a male and a female speaker in a poem inspired about the same thing.The most interesting part of the book was to see how two people can thing of things in such a different way.At times when I couldn't identify with one, I could identify with the other.The great thing was when I could understand both and think, hey that is a great way to look at it.I felt that this book really caused me to open my mind and not to expect things so much.I also like the great emotions that were pulled out of me while reading the book.There were topics such as death, fathers, hospitals, relaxation, childhood, beliefs, common day existance, and objects commonly thought of as irrevelent.The fact the the book is made up of poetry also gave it chances to be open and the reader to find their own meanings. I felt that I could understand this poetry and that it is current.It was published in 1996, that is probally why.The poems also flow smoothly in general and have come sort of conclusive meaning.Other poetry is harder for me to read because it is too whimsical and I guess and comtemplate the meaning too much and never figure it out.The two views on the same subject seems to set this book apart from others.I think that it is great that it gives two ways for a person to look at something.When I write, I write as a matter of factly and a this is the only way solution.I enjoyed the legnth of the poems in this book because they were catchy and descriptive, yet not overbearing.One of my favorite poems in there is titled Conversation With A Fireman From Brooklyn.It envoked so many emotions from me.A part in it says, "Already he's telling me he dosen't mind women firefighters, but what/they look like after fighting a fire, well/they loose all respect."The male speaker goes on to act as if the only thing good about a women is how they look with a stay in the kitchen attitude.As a female I was disturbed by it.There are also great looks back at childhood.In the poem Dark Song a great part says, "Don't be scared of the dark:/ all night is the biggest shadow/ little kid in the biggest shadow. The book also includes interesting titles that made we wonder and keep reading.Such titles are Black Patent Leather Shoes, The Locker Room, and The Pyramid of Khufu. The whole idea behind the book I feel A little Jumpy Around You is a great example to readers and writers everywhere.Again, I would like to stress how much I enjoyed the different speakers in the poems, the giving of more than one view on the same subject,messages that are clear to understand, but you can interpert them in your own way, creative similies and metaphors that even youth can pick up on, modern subject matter, and poems that are a nice legnth to keep me motivated.The only dissappointment was that all the poems seemed to include a few choppy lines and I feel that there should have been different rhythms and structures used.

These poems are not from France!
Collected in PAIRS -- that is, two at a time, this collection looks at the world through male and female eyes.It delights not just with the usual anthologist's skill of finding wonderful poems for us to read, but with the collaborative skill of two people who care deeply about quality verse for young adults.A marvelous collection. ...

Awesome poet
Cortz's poetry is to be reckoned with...she doesn't shy away from emotions and delivers them in her wonderful use of language and imagery.

Deliciously sinful
Sarah Cortez creates amazing visual images in a most unique topic, combining cops and sex in such a way you'll never view getting pulled over for a traffic violation in quite the same way again. Deliciously sinful, always sensual, the poetry takes us behind the badge and underneath the clothes of law enforcement, particularly in the seductive Latin community.Not just erotic, the writer also takes into the minds and hearts of law enforcement officers and those who love them. From the very first page until the last, I was hooked. I hope to see more from this amazing poetess.

Tantilizing
I really enjoyed this book because it is a glimpse into the mind of a latina female officer, from her perspective.This is what the public doesnt see behind the badge.

Validating if your one too.

strong work
Sarah Cortez is a poet, teacher, and cop in Houston, Texas. Her work is tough, sensual, and very sexual. Her job as a cop and her Latina heritage flavor her poems. This is a beautiful piece of work from a poet who has a lot of potential to be great. She has the flavor of those 'bad girl' poets (like Kim Addonizio, Dorianne Laux, and their matriarch-Edna St. Vincent Millay). This is a strong collection, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Muy Caliente !
whoa...this book is soooo hot, it could scorch your fingers....not many poets can mixerotica with police work and pull it off without making it seem schlocky...in fact, i don't think i've ever read a book like this...rather than cloud her poems with ambiguities, she tell you straight up about what it's like being a cop, a woman, and a mexican american in america, sometimes, all three at the same time...she can make a poem about wearing a bulletproof vest interesting...what i love ( and i mean love ! ) about these poems,is she shows you her world without the taint of political correctness, which i think is the worst thing that hasever happened to art, because it has kept people from saying what they really mean...you see her frustrations as a cop,when she realizes she can't win every battle;the men she works with as she tries to gain their respect...her own struggles in her personal life as she loves men of brown and white shade and possible not a man at all? after reading this book. i respect her for thejob she does, and for showing her sensuality unabashed on verse... ...

Books for the Teen Age 2001 (NYPL)Amazon.com Review
In these "twelve brushes with religion" written by leading young-adult authors, teens from a wide range of beliefs search for answers to the hard questions of faith at crucial points in their lives. Braving the long-held taboo in teen fiction against spiritual inquiry, I Believe in Water approaches God from surprising angles. Virginia Euwer Wolff shows us three different girls confronting unwanted pregnancies, praying in the contexts of Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam. Jacqueline Woodson shares a glimpse of her own childhood as a Jehovah's Witness, while Joyce Carol Thomas takes us into the shivery practice of religious snake handling. Gregory Maguire contributes an affecting story about a boy's return to Catholicism, while Jennifer Armstrong plays sainthood for laughs. Marilyn Singer finds answers on the edges of Judaism. In Kyoko Mori's fine story, a young Japanese woman surrenders her life to fate, and, in what is perhaps the most exotic piece in the book, Jess Mowry weaves a tale about a chubby voodoo child-deity. Other very different stories by M.E. Kerr, Naomi Shihab Nye, Nancy Springer, and Margaret Peterson Haddix make this an audacious, unforgettable collection that will reach out to teens pondering spiritual realities in their own lives. For another excellent selection of short stories that address teens and religion, don't miss Sandy Asher's With All My Heart, with All My Mind: Thirteen Stories About Growing Up Jewish.
