A renowned poet and writer for adults, Ms. Nye is also the creator of singular books for children and young adults.

"The Space Between Our Footsteps: Poems and Paintings from the Middle East" (Simon & Schuster, 1998), and "The Flag of Childhood: Poems of the Middle East" (Simon Spotlight, 2002). Her other poetry anthologies for youth include "What Have You Lost?" (Greenwillow, 1999) and "I Feel a Little Jumpy Around You: A Collection of Her Poems and His Poems Gathered in Pairs" (compiled with Paul Janeczko; Simon & Schuster, 1996).
Ms. Nye's original writing published for children and teenagers includes the picture books "Benito's Dream Bottle" (Simon & Schuster, 1995) and "Sitti's Secrets" (Four Winds Press, 1994), the novel "Habibi" (Simon & Schuster, 1997), and two poetry collections, "Come With Me: Poems for a Journey" (Greenwillow, 2000) and "19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems from the Middle East" (Greenwillow, 2002). This will be a free public lecture open to all.
