"The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis" by Caroline Kennedy ****

> Originally published 2001
> Collected and introduced by Caroline Kennedy

> Review:  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!
