"Nye
at her engaging, insightful best." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Acclaimed poet and Young People's
Poet Laureate Naomi Shihab Nye shines a spotlight on the things we cast away,
from plastic water bottles to those less fortunate, in this collection of more
than eighty original and never-before-published poems. A deeply moving,
sometimes funny, and always provocative poetry collection for all ages.

"How much have you thrown away in your
lifetime already? Do you ever think about it? Where does this plethora of
leavings come from? How long does it take you, even one little you, to fill the
can by your desk?" ?Naomi Shihab Nye

National Book Award
Finalist, Young People's Poet Laureate, and devoted trash-picker-upper Naomi
Shihab Nye explores these questions and more in this original collection of
poetry that features more than eighty new poems. "I couldn't save the world,
but I could pick up trash," she says in her introduction to this stunning
volume.

With poems about food
wrappers, lost mittens, plastic straws, refugee children, trashy talk, the
environment, connection, community, responsibility to the planet, politics,
immigration, time, junk mail, trash collectors, garbage trucks, all that we
carry and all that we discard, this is a rich, engaging, moving, and sometimes
humorous collection for readers ages twelve to adult.

Includes
ideas for writing, recycling, and reclaiming, and an index.
