A reading and workshop with acclaimed author and poet Naomi Shihab Nye wraps up National Poetry Month at Highline today, May 12, at 10 a.m. 

Nye is the 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 noon on Thursday, May 12 and will be held in the Mt. Constance/Olympus rooms in Building 8.
