Everything Comes Next: Collected and New Poems by Naomi Shihab Nye

One Year at Ellsmere by Faith Erin Hicks

July 27, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr12bingo Gateway As a former-full-time bookseller and now part-time bookseller, I do not have that one book, author or genre to get a person reading. I have a book/author/genre to fit the person I am speaking with. However, within some genres I do have a go-to author or in one case, publisher. Two areas that many are not familiar with are poetry and graphic novels. Or more accurately in the case of school-aged students they do not want to be familiar with poetry and adults […]

The poems then circulate around this tiny observer’s perpsective while also asking leading and damning questions about the exercise of power and oppression on a people. The poems are […]

Voices in the Air: Poems for Listeners by Naomi Shihab Nye

August 23, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #ILoveThis I am not sure if this is a good thing or not, but I read about half way through Voices in the Air: Poems for Listeners by  Naomi Shihab Nye before I realized I thought I had read it before.

This poem was about Nye visiting Jack Kerouac’s wife, in their home, and how it seems real life was as […]
