Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas. – Caroline Kennedy
Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People dont always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history. – Caroline Kennedy
I never thought Id be doing poetry books. I never really studied poetry. But the first one I did was after my mother died, and I realized that people sort of think and talk about her style and fashion, but in fact, what made her the person she was was really her love of reading and ideas. – Caroline Kennedy
After my mom died, there was so much written about her fashion and her style and all that, and I felt that one of the most important parts of her was missing, her real intellectual curiosity. – Caroline Kennedy
Short fiction is the medium I love the most, because it requires that I bring everything Ive learned about poetry – the concision, the ability to say something as vividly as possible – but also the ability to create a narrative that, though lacking a novels length, satisfies the reader. – Ron Rash
