| | 1. |  | Thomas and Beulah
from Carnegie-Mellon University Press
Price: $11.65
Customer Review:
Rita Dove, Thomas and Beulah (1987, Carnegie Mellon)Rita Dove won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry with Thomas and Beulah, and it's pretty easy to see why. Dove's poetic biography of her ancestors is hyperkinetic, jazz-infused poetry rooted in the Depression, full of life, sass, and vinegar.... more info

| | 2. |  | Mother Love: Poems
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.65
Customer Review:
Rita Dove is not as well-known as Nikki Giovanni or Maya Angelou but she is one of the more accomplished female poets and African Americans of this generation. Her poetry is often simple at times but there are several levels and new information is given regarding her poetry. In this book, she calls... more info

| | 3. |  | The Darker Face of the Earth
from Story Line Press
Customer Review:
The Darker Face of the Earth is a wonderful book. It keeps the reader on the edge of his seat. The play is based on the well know Greek story of Oedipus, so it makes the story easier to follow for the reader. Even though you know what will happen in the end of the story it is still surprisingly... more info

| | 4. |  | Selected Poems
from Vintage
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
What I love about Rita Dove's work is that she gives her poems a sense of narrative. It's easy to see why when you consider her background in writing fiction. She is influenced by her desire to give her poetry a self contained atmosphere that you see in fiction. I disagree with readers who think of... more info

| | 5. |  | American Smooth: Poems
from W. W. Norton
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
If ever there were the slightest doubt as to why Rita Dove is a former Poet Laureate, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and lots of other great things for a poet (particularly a poet these days!) to be, AMERICAN SMOOTH squelches that doubt like a bug at a barbecue. Whether she's writing of Negro doughboys in... more info

| | 6. |  | Grace Notes: Poems
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.95
Customer Review:
What Ms. Dove does here seems dated. Some of her poetry cannot help but resound with the complaint of an aged woman watching young men and remembering death, though the sound of her poems does say something else. They reveal her sheer talent, uncovering a music often missing from a good deal of... more info

| | 8. |  | On the Bus with Rosa Parks: Poems
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.01
Customer Review:
This collection of poems is a fun variety of rhythm, imagery and humour. I found this collection a great daily read.
The first set of poems, "Cameos" are wonderful snapshots of the African American community. Dove does something that is very difficult and takes on the voice of different... more info
