Bücher von Rita (University of Virginia) Dove

Calling upon the ancient Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone, Mother Love examines the love between mother and daughter, two tumblers locked in an eternal somersault: each mother a daughter, each daughter a potential mother.

With this her fourth book of poems, Rita Dove expands her role as a leading voice in contemporary American letters.

"Rita Dove pulls the ultimate dance trick: she makes it look easy."--New York Times Book Review
