Editorial Review:

Product Description:


What have you lost? A friend? A brother? A wallet? A memory? A meaning? A year?



Each Night



Images,
dream news,
fragments,
flash
then fade.
These darkened walls.



Here, I say.
Climb into
this story.
Be remembered!

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Thought-provoking poetry, splendid!
Everyone can relate to at least one of the poems in this book. The author takes a common thread (loss) and puts it between the cover of a very well compiled book. This is a wonderful book to have in your collection!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - what have you lost?
Naomi Shihab Nye has compiled an anthology not only for young adults, but for anyone who has experienced loss. Highly recommended.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An amazing collection of poetry
Wow. This book is amazing...This book seems to apply to life, no matter what is going on. The poetry in this book seems to span across so many issues, and so many age groups. I just keep coming back to it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What Have You Lost?
This is a collection of poems about losing things, for all age groups. From losing pencils, keys, toys, parents, siblings, spouses, trust and freindship. A very moving book of poetry. It contains excellent black and white illustrations and I recommend it for students from the 5th grade up, as well as parents and teachers.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I was moved by this collection of poetry.
I purchased this book on a whim for my 9 year old son. He found some of the ideas very sad. We enjoyed talking about the different types of losses. I definately got more out of it than he did. I have enjoyed sharing it with my friends. The poetry comes from many kinds of experiences and is a great all around poetry experience.
