In her first volume of new poems in twelve years, Rita Dove
investigates the vacillating moral compass guiding the world’s
experiments in democracy. Whether depicting the first Jewish ghetto
in sixteenth-century Venice or Black Lives Matter, this
extraordinary poet never fails to connect history’s grand
exploits to the triumphs and tragedies of individual lives—the
simmering resentment of a lift operator, an octogenarian’s
exuberant mambo, the mordant humour of a philosophising cricket.
Audaciously playful yet grave, alternating poignant meditations on
mortality and acerbic observations of injustice, Playlist for
the Apocalypse takes us from the smallest moments of
redemption to apocalyptic failures of the human soul.
