As she entered her fifth decade and found herself grappling with becoming middle-aged, Caroline Kennedy (the only daughter of President Kennedy) found solace and inspiration in poetry, which she says "shapes an endless conversation about the most important things in life." Thus was born this at once personal and universal anthology, which offers poetic wisdom for the milestones of a woman's life-- from falling in love to breaking up, from marriage to motherhood, from growing old to grieving. Elegantly expressed advice and insight from poets such as Elizabeth Bishop, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, W. H. Auden, Dorothy Parker, and more will warmly comfort and intellectually invigorate any thoughtful woman, no matter where she is along her journey.
