{"product_id":"collected-poems-1974-2004","title":"Collected Poems: 1974–2004","description":"Finalist for the 2016 National Book Award\nFinalist for the 2017 NAACP Image Award\n\nThree decades of powerful lyric poetry from a virtuoso of the English language in one unabridged volume.\nRita Dove’s Collected Poems 1974–2004 showcases the wide-ranging diversity that earned her a Pulitzer Prize, the position of U.S. poet laureate, a National Humanities Medal, and a National Medal of Art. Gathering thirty years and seven books, this volume compiles Dove’s fresh 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, industrialization, and the civil right struggles. The multifaceted gems of Grace Notes, the exquisite 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. With the “precise, singing lines” for which the Washington Post praised her, Dove “has created fresh configurations of the traditional and the experimental” (Poetry magazine).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393354938\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0393354938.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dove, Rita\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
