In She Walks in Beauty, Caroline Kennedy has once again marshaled the gifts of our greatest poets to pay a very personal tribute to the human experience, this time to the complex and fascinating subject of womanhood. Inspired by her own reflections on more than fifty years of life as a young girl, a woman, a wife, and a mother, She Walks in Beauty draws on poetryâs eloquent wisdom to ponder the many joys and challenges of being a woman. Kennedy has divided the collection into sections that signify to her the most notable milestones, passages, and universal experiences in a womanâs life, and she begins each of these sections with an introduction in which she explores and celebrates the most important elements of lifeâs journey.
The collection includes works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sharon Olds, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, W. H. Auden, Adrienne Rich, Sandra Cisneros, Anne Sexton, W. S. Merwin, Dorothy Parker, Queen Elizabeth I, Lucille Clifton, Naomi Shahib Nye, and W. B. Yeats. Whether itâs falling in love, breaking up, friendship, marriage, motherhood, or growing old, She Walks in Beauty is a priceless resource for anyone, male or female, who wants a deeper understanding and appreciation of what it means to be a woman.
She walks in beauty
George Gordon, Lord Byron
I
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all thatâs best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowâd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
II
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impairâd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens oâer her face;
