5.0 out of 5 stars A warm, intriguing collection of poetry., 18 Jan 1998
By A Customer
The Words Under the Words is certainly one of my favorite books of poetry. Nye writes with a warmth and gentleness that is calming, thought-provoking, and increasingly rare in today's poetry. She seems to have an amazingly accurate and poignant understanding of human emotions and presents these so softly and beautifully that it's hard not to fall in love with the stories that grow from these poems. One of the few books of poetry I've read cover to cover that's maintained a sense of freshness and wonder throughout. It held my interest like a hand. I can't imagine anyone not liking this book. A great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine poetry without the flowers, 13 Dec 1996
By A Customer
Ms. Nye brings together so many elements of her life, one is sure to strike a chord with everyone who reads this book. Her words, while descriptive, never fail to invoke more than just their surface meaning. I find it best to read each poem three times, right in a row. The first to absorb the flavor and place, the second to garner the depths and colors that are only implied, and third to bring its meaning home, to own the poem as if it were my own words. Her beautiful style is simple and clear, yet embroidered with care for meaning and love for language. I highly recommend this book to poetry lovers others who enjoy pictures made with words.

its great to have such instant access to a poet who's not really that well known. I wouldn't have found this volume on the shelves of the average vbook shop. so thanx..a lot. Judith
