Naomi Shihab Nye Is Coming To Providence RI In March

I have read some of this woman's poetry and it is extraordinary as is her fiction...I just learned from Debbie Block of this event, and I will even miss one of my son's basketball games if it falls on the same day...

Here is the info I have just received:
