Caroline Kennedy shares her mother's favorite poems organized Caroline Kennedy shares her mother's favorite poems organized and love, refection, and two original poems by her mother.
Enjoyable and interesting to read a selection of poems that inspired a "public person" whose life was followed by the press, but about whom most people were largely ignorant. I enjoyed reading her daughter Caroline's reminiscences along with poems that I admire. It brings a new perspective on a way of looking at life; even though they are not my favorites. ( )
This poetry anthology was disappointing since Ms. Kennedy did not identify any of the authors, provide any biographical information about them or the dates of the poems. Moreover, poems by many poets were included in different sections, and since there is no index, there is no easy way to find all the poems of a particular poet. Ms. Kennedy did write short introductions to each section, including information about her family and the value of poetry to them. Although I enjoyed some of the poems, as a whole I found Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's favorite poems not very inspiring. ( )
Collected and Introduced by Caroline Kennedy, this is a lovely collection of poetry. What makes the collection even more enjoyable to read are the tidbits of insight shared by Caroline about life with her oh so literate mother and father, from memorizing poems for their Daddy to Jacqueline's excitement in organizing an evening of poetry at the White House to the family tradition of writing or selecting a poem for their mother's birthday, Mother's Day, etc. Some classics, some sonnets, some historic moments. Very nice! ( )
