Rita Dove's Collected Poems: 1974-2004 showcases the wide-ranging
diversity that earned her a Pulitzer Prize, the position of US poet
laureate, a National Humanities Medal and a National Medal of Art.
Gathering thirty years and seven books, this volume compiles Dove's
reflections on adolescence in The Yellow House on the Corner and
her irreverent musings in Museum. She sets the moving love story of
Thomas and Beulah against the backdrop of war, industrialisation
and the civil right struggles. The multifaceted gems of Grace
Notes, the reinvention of Greek myth in the sonnets of Mother Love,
the troubling rapids of recent history in On the Bus with Rosa
Parks and the homage to America's kaleidoscopic cultural heritage
in American Smooth all celebrate Dove's mastery of narrative
context with lyrical finesse.
