Description
A tender and searching poetry collection, *Transfer* explores the crossings—between cultures, generations, places, and states of belonging—that shape an Arab American life. Naomi Shihab Nye’s poems move from intimate family moments and familiar domestic details to reflections on war, migration, faith, prejudice, and the possibility of peace. With characteristic warmth, clarity, and humane wit, Nye finds profound connection in the ordinary lives of neighbors and strangers, offering a radiant meditation on heritage, empathy, and the enduring power of language to bring people home.
