An occasion to celebrate: a new collection by the Pulitzer
Prize-winning former poet laureate; her first since "On the Bus
with Rosa Parks." With the grace of an Astaire, Rita Dove's
magnificent poems pay homage to our kaleidoscopic cultural
heritage; from the glorious shimmer of an operatic soprano to
Bessie Smith's mournful wail; from paradise lost to angel food
cake; from hotshots at the local shooting range to the Negro jazz
band in World War I whose music conquered Europe before the Allied
advance. Like the ballroom-dancing couple of the title poem,
smiling and making the difficult seem effortless, Dove explores the
shifting surfaces between perception and intimation.
