Palin's poetry picks

If you ever wondered about Sarah Palin's literary tastes then you'll totally want to run to the bookstore in November and get her latest book. From Harper Collins: "Written in her own refreshingly candid voice, America By Heart will include selections from classic and contemporary readings that have moved her - from the nation's founding documents to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography, and even some of her favorite songs and movies."

Can't wait to hear what her favorite poems are.
