This heartwarming little book contains nearly fifty poems selected by celebrities. Indulge in Joyce Carol Oates's favorite Emily Dickinson poem, "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant." Diane Sawyer and Geraldine Ferraro both recommend Rudyard Kipling's "If." And delight in Yo-Yo Ma's pick, "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats. Each poem is paired with a letter from the celebrity who chose it, explaining what it means to them (Yo-Yo Ma loves Keats's poem because "beauty has its own truth"). A delightful, uplifting compilation perfect for anyone with a penchant for poetry.
