		There is a poem about how a woman on an airplane asked Nye to hold her baby, and returned an hour later having showered and changed her clothes in the airplane lavatory.
		What impresses me is that Nye caught the underlying importance of these childish phrasings and hung on to them until they could be reinvented in the poem.
		Nye is one of those writers who makes me want to read, and makes me want to live, and makes me want to write.

		Nye’s best poems often act as conduits between opposing or distant forces.
		With clear images and striking metaphors, Fuel confirms Nye’s belief in the value of the overlooked, the half-forgotten, “the little sucked-in breath of air / hiding everywhere.” Like the late William Stafford, to whom Nye dedicates the second poem in this volume, “Bill’s Beans,” she cannot help loving small hidden wonders of the natural world.
		But Nye’s Palestinian-American heritage, reflected in several of the strongest poems in Fuel, leads her to take up more worldly concerns as well.

		Part one covers Nye's personal experience, at home with her child in San Antonio or as a "Frequent Frequent Flyer" enjoying the sights of Scotland.
		If one of the four elements were assigned to Nye's poetry, it would be water because her poems are clear, flowing, essential, and capable of not only keeping one afloat but also slipping into even the most tightly closed corner of the mind.
		Nye's clarion condemnation of prejudice and injustice reminds readers that most Americans have ties to other lands and that all concerns truly are universal.
