The main theme of the April edition is poetry, while also featuring a guest editor (Maria Shriver) and 16 pages from Oprah’s private journals from the past 40 years, 11 of which are exclusive to the iPad edition.
Highlights from this issue include:
- Video of Oprah reciting a cherished poem by Langston Hughes
- Oprah talks poetry and the important role it plays in her life in “What I Know for Sure”
- Maria Shriver visits poet Mary Oliver, who recites her poem “Mornings at Blackwater”
- April’s Aha! Moment with Susanne Vega includes an updated arrangement of her 1987 single “Tom’s Diner”
- More than 25 book excerpts, including chapters from April’s Reading Room selections and poems from O’s must-have poetry books
