Join Highline’s National Poetry Month committee for the last event in celebration of National Poetry Month 2022. The reading and workshop will feature long awaited guest, Naomi Shihab Nye, author and editor of many award-winning poems and books. 

A few of Nye’s most recent books include Cast Away: Poems for Our Time (2020), The Tiny Journalist (2019), and Voices in the Air: Poems for Listeners (2018).   

Nye’s works illustrate the experiences she has gained through her heritage as an Arab American and travels around the world, which also shines light on our “shared humanity”.  

This event is open to the community, and the National Poetry Month committee welcomes full classes of students to attend the reading and workshop. 

The event will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Thursday, May 12 and will be held in Mt Constance/Olympus of Building 8.
