19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East is by Naomi Shihab Nye. A wonderful collection of poems about the Middle East. Nye, who is Arab American, writes about the problems of this area of the world from a relatively unbiased perspective. She is in complete sympathy with neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis. She focuses on the people caught in the middle of the battle. A moving collection of very well done poetry.
Ratings: 8th grade - 9 out of 10.
