Excerpt from Heart Offerings: A Book of Poems Words for the sorrowful; Words meant to cheer them, To soothe the sad spirit Like health-bearing balm; To quiet the tempest-tossed Billows of anguish, Till the storm-beaten waters Sink into a calm: - Words for the sorrowful. Words for the jubilant, The brave and the gifted, Who make all the hope Of the future their own; Who look out on life With a Crusader's rapture, Never disheartened, Never alone: - Words for the jubilant.

For this companion to her New York Times best-selling collection A Family of Poems, Caroline Kennedy has hand-selected more than a hundred of her favorite poems that lend themselves to memorization. Some are joyful. Some are sad. Some are funny and lighthearted. Many offer layers of meaning that reveal themselves only after the poem has been studied so closely as to be learned by heart. In issuing the challenge to memorize great poetry, Caroline Kennedy invites us to a deeply enriching experience. For as she reminds us, “If we learn poems by heart, not only do we have their wisdom to draw on, we also gain confidence, knowledge and understanding that no one can take away.” Illustrated with gorgeous, original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J Muth , this is truly a book for all ages, and one that families will share again and again. Caroline’s thoughtful introductions shed light on the many ways we can appreciate poetry, and the special tradition of memorizing and reciting poetry that she celebrates within her own family.

Having life as my master, and love as my guide, i always looked for the truth in things, in beings, in hearts, the truth that always resides in me. And i understood, never belatedly, that the truth is the absence of noise. And so is love. Here i stand. Auspiciously making a nest, where silences reveal themselves, where, forever, i find myself.
