Perhaps no one has done more to spread  the spirit and craft of poetry more than Naomi Shihab Nye, a Palestinian American whose award winning books for both adults and children explore themes of  loss and exile, the pace of modern life, family ties and spirituality – often with humor. I spoke with her while she visited New York in her capacity as chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.  (Photo: Chehalis Hegner)
