Book Synopsis
Pulitzer Prize-winner and former poet laureate of the United States, Rita Dove has written prolifically since the early 1970s. This study traces the development of Dove's literary voice, looking at the ways she combines racial specificity with the perspective of the unraced universal, and demonstrates how Dove transcended racial protocols.

Trade Review

"The book's scope is not limited to Dove's poetry. . . . It also includes an unexpected but welcome appendix, a 1998 interview with Dove that covers such wide ranging subjects as her relationship to the Black Arts Movement, what it was like to be U.S. Poet Laureate, her debts to the American modernist poet H.D., how living in the South has affected her writing, and her thoughts about moving into the new millennium."--African American Review
