Terry Horrigan: "I first read Naomi Shihab Nye's poetry when my grown daughter and I were shopping at her local co-op grocery and found, posted over the produce, 'The Shopper.' We read it aloud to each other, enjoying the words, the rhythms, the message. Since she and I 'bless ourselves' with poetry and with sharing it, she has regularly mailed others of Nye's poems to me. I wrote Ms. Nye with a request: might she have a poem that she had been saving to have printed in a limited edition? Might she consider sharing it with me? She sent me 'Endure.' It pleases me to present it to you."

Prospectus: "'Endure' by Naomi Shihab Nye is a single poem enclosed in a chapbook which includes short biographies of Naomi Shihab Nye and of Mahmoud Darwish, the poet to whom 'Endure' is dedicated."

Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008) is considered by some Palestine's most eminent poet.
