About the book
A beautiful collection of poems from around the world selected by renowned anthologist Naomi Shihab Nye. This award-winning multicultural compilation of poetry introduces more than 125 poems from sixty-eight countries around the world, many translated into English for the first time, and offers glimpses of similarities across people despite cultural differences. A peek into poetry throughout the world. The editor has given us a collection wrought with human emotions. By organizing the book in theme not by country, we are allowed to see the similarities of mankind first and not the differences. This Same Sky can be enjoyed as a collection as a look at the human condition or singularly as individual, finely crafted poems.
