Amazon.com Review
A political, spiritual Palestinian-American from Texas, Naomi Nye illuminates some of the subtler aspects of human experience in this volume of poems drawn from three previous collections. She ponders everything from the donor of a now-broken music box to a little girl clenching her fist against death, using absolute clarity of imagery and a gentle, authoritative voice to make her visions accessible. She also poses such unanswerable questions as "What makes a man with a gun seem bigger/ than a man with almonds?" -- making it a thought-provoking read.
From Library Journal
While Nye's technique is nearly flawless, this is not the mere shaping of superficial little boxes. Lyrically, calmly, she describes an Edenic landscape where "hands are churches that worship the world." Nye is philosophical, yes, but too delighted with her own findings to impose them on a reader. Instead, we find integrity, sincerity, and gentleness: the poet trying to remember who gave her a now-broken music box, the little girl making a fist against death, the woman who can "find holiness in anything/that continues." The poems in the last third of this book focus directly on Nye's Palestinian American heritage, as the poet tours the Mideast, inquisitive and frustrated. Drawn from three previous collections, this selection coincides with the publication of Red Suitcase, a volume of new work (BOA Editions, 1994). All in all, an accomplished writer still searching for a unique voice.

From Booklist
Nye defies categorization. Do we call her a woman poet, a political poet, a spiritual poet, a Palestinian, a Texan? She is all of these. Jerusalem appears in her poems as readily as Houston. She writes of prayer as readily as of international politics. She writes with both authority and passion. Her great strength lies in an absolute clarity of imagery that makes her poems accessible despite their unique visions. In one political poem, she asks, "Where do the souls of hills hide / when there is shooting in the valleys? / What makes a man with a gun seem bigger / than a man with almonds?" Like the late William Stafford, Nye writes with a great heart and a sure hand. Patricia Monaghan

A great book
By Michelle
An amazing poet. I bought this book because it contained the poem 'Kindness', that poem touches me every time I read it and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. This collection it worth the money for that poem alone. This is a great bed side book. Most of the poems are roughly a page long so they are quick reads, I often walk past it and just open to a page and read one poem and then put it back.

Marvelously gifted poet
By dr. lowbrow
Naomi is a superb poet and citizen of the world. Her words are at once graceful and authentic. She describes powerful complexities of culture and values in engaging and accessible metaphors. Very, very highly recommended.

The Language of Compassion
By Virginia Lore
Naomi Shihab Nye is Palestinian-American and currently lives in Texas. Words Under the Words is a collection of works from three earlier books: Different Ways to Pray, Hugging the Jukebox, and Yellow Glove. In this collection, her poetry celebrates the interconnectedness of the human spirit and the ordinary world. A stranger's eyes, once met, become the eyes of a fellow (Eye-to-Eye, p. 11); a serving woman's lined face tells a story of great worth (The Indian in the Kitchen, p.4); and images of Guatemala eulogize the passing of indigenous culture in service to the industrial world (Getting Through the Day, p. 69).
Nye's poetry is informed by her sense of place: Kindness (p.42) could have been written nowhere but from Colombia. Before you learn the solemnity of kindness, she writes, you must see a dead person lying roadside. "You must see how this could be you/how he, too, was someone/who journeyed through the night with plans/and the simple breath that kept him alive." Many of the poems in this book have been written from different Central and South American countries-others in the Middle East, in the United States-there is even a poem about being lost in Kansas.
In an interview with Rachel Berenblat, Nye said she has written poems from childhood. "I liked the portable, comfortable shape of poems," she said. "I liked the way they took you to a deeper, quieter place, almost immediately." It is no surprise, then, that these poems are accessible and harmonious, written in the language of empathy and compassion.
