Celebrate National Poetry Month and the publication of She Walks In Beauty: A Woman’s Journey Through Poems, an anthology of poems selected by Caroline Kennedy, by attending poetry readings curated by Poets & Writers at select Barnes & Noble stores.
In recent years, Caroline Kennedy and her friends began to share poems that spoke to the challenges they faced at various stages in their lives. “To me, that’s the gift of poetry,” Kennedy writes in the introduction to She Walks in Beauty, “it shapes an endless conversation about the most important things in life.”
Inspired by this anthology and Kennedy’s reflections on what the poems have meant to her, Poets & Writers has organized a series of free readings featuring contemporary women poets, many of whom have been funded through our Readings/Workshops program.
