In She Walks in Beauty, Caroline Kennedy has once again marshaled the gifts of our greatest poets to pay a very personal tribute to the human experience, this time to the complex and fascinating subject of womanhood. Inspired by her own reflections on more than fifty years of life as a young girl, a woman, a wife, and a mother, She Walks in Beauty draws on poetry's eloquent wisdom to ponder the many joys and challenges of being a woman. Kennedy has divided the collection into sections that signify to her the most notable milestones, passages, and universal experiences in a woman's life, and she begins each of these sections with an introduction in which she explores and celebrates the most important elements of life's journey. The collection includes works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sharon Olds, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, W. H. Auden, Adrienne Rich, Sandra Cisneros, Anne Sexton, W. S. Merwin, Dorothy Parker, Queen Elizabeth I, Lucille Clifton, Naomi Shahib Nye, and W. B. Yeats. Whether it's falling in love, breaking up, friendship, marriage, motherhood, or growing old, She Walks in Beauty is a priceless resource for anyone, male or female, who wants a deeper understanding and appreciation of what it means to be a woman.

This book of poems is a personal journey written from daily reflections and looking back through the pages of my life, by putting pen to paper I have been able to deal with the pain and heartache from incidents out of my control, the beauty that surrounds me that is God created and the utmost joy and pleasure that is part of my life as I learn, grow and develop into a person I can be proud of. I wish to thank the encouragement from my daughter Kimberley who has collaborated with me in putting this book together, my husband Colin who has lovingly allowed me to use him as a sounding board and last but not least David whose insatiable thirst for prose pushed me into putting it all out there for others to read. If it inspires just one other women to search her being and find the courage to put pen to paper and take the journey within and let her spirit soar and lay to rest her pain and share her joy then my job is done.
