Selected Poems Dove, Rita
Pantheon 1993 0679430830 / 9780679430834 Softcover Very Good with no dust jacket
Crisp and clean, appears unread. 1 x 8.25 x 5.75 Inches 207 pages Dove is a prolific poet whose honors include the Pulitzer Prize and her present appointment as Poet Laureate of the United States (she is the youngest poet and the only African American to have held this post). This book includes poems from her first three books. A prose introduction by the author about becoming a writer ends with a recent autobiographical poem, "In the Old Neighborhood, " which reiterates in powerful images the concern with self-definition and history in the older poems. Of strawberries, she writes, "Mom sliced the red hearts into sugar/ and left them to build their own/ improbable juice. " Indeed, the personal narrative, both contemporary and historical, drives these poems; full of observed detail, they are shaped by huge events--birth, death, hardship, racism, politics: "No front yard to speak of/just a porch cantilevered on faith. " "Thomas and Beulah, " the magnificent narrative sequence based on Dove's grandparents' lives, is included in its entirety.
