Potluck suppers with couldbe relatives, junkets to exotic locales, and the importance of strangers in our livesIn Never in a Hurry the poet Naomi Shihab Nye resist the American inclination to 'leave toward places when we barely had time enough to get there.' Instead she travels the world at an observant pace, talking to strangers and introducing readers to an endearing assemblage of eccentric neighbors, Filipina faith healers, drycleaning proprietors, and other quirky characters.A PalestinianAmerican who lives in a MexicanAmerican neighborhood, Nye speaks for the mix of people and places that can be called the 'American Experience.' From St. Louis, the symbolic 'Gateway to the West,' she embarks on a westward migration to examine America, past and present, and to glimpse into the lives of its latest outsidersillegal immigrants from Mexico and troubled innercity children.In other essays Nye ventures beyond North America's bounds, telling of a year in her childhood spent in Palestine and of an adulthood filled with crosscultural quests. Whether recounting the purchase of a car on the island of Oahu or a camelback ride through India's Thar Desert, Nye writes in wry, refreshing tones about themes that transcend borders and about the journey that remains the greatest of allthe journey from outside to in as the world enters each one of us, as we learn to see.
