The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

. Hyperion, $21.95 (192pp) ISBN 978-0-7868-6809-4

The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis have been selected by someone who should know: Caroline Kennedy. While Caroline's two confirmed appearances on the Today Show, a first serial in Good Housekeeping, and further publicity should make this easily the bestselling poetry title of the season, it doesn't hurt that Jackie's taste was excellent. Charming poems from John Clare, Kipling, and a young Jimmy Kennedy are complemented by work from Langston Hughes, Robert Frost and Elizabeth Bishop and by 14 b&w family photos. Caroline Kennedy has organized more than 100 poems into seven sections (""America""; ""Adventure"" etc.), written short, intimate introductions to each and included a small selection of Jackie's own poems.
