Many of the poets in this collection, write of fruits and gardens. This is not surprising, since, as the editors point out "Greens have always been somewhat miraculous to the Arabs." Still others of these Arab-American poets write as any other poet, but who happen to be of Arab heritage, such as Samuel Hazo's "Some Words For President Wilson" or Doris Safie's "Meditation By the Xerox Machine." Their words reflect the feelings of any other American with little to no connection to their Arab heritage. And still others write of the injustices and violence they or their parents have witnessed in their native lands.
