Encyclopedia Dove, Rita Dove, Rita, Ten Poems, was published in 1977. Her verse is at once concise, precise, and evocative. History as seen from an African-American perspective is perhaps her most important theme: the history of her country, as in the slavery poem sequence of The Yellow House on the Corner Thomas and Beulah (1986), her grandparents' life story in verse. In her many collections, Dove also writes compellingly of mother-daughter relations, e.g., Mother Love (1995), everyday life, travel, and the aesthetic experience itself. From 1993 to 1995 she was U.S. poet laureate, the first African American to hold the post. An English professor at the Univ. of Virginia, Dove has also written short stories, a play, and a novel.

Young, Al Dove, Rita Heroes A flower in a weedy field make it a poppy. You pick it. Because it begins to wilt you run to the nearest house to ask for a jar of water. The woman on the porch starts screaming: you've picked the last poppy in her miserable garden, the one that gives her the strength every morning to rise! It's too late for apologies though you go through the motions, offering trinkets and a juicy spot in the written history she wouldn't live to read, anyway So you strike her, she hits her head on a white boulder, and there's nothing to be done but break the stone into gravel to prop up the flower in the stolen jar you have to take along, because you're a fugitive now and you can't leave clues. Although the story's starting to unravel, the villagers stirring as your heart pounds into your throat. O why did you pick that idiot flower? Because it was the last one and you knew it was going to die.

Dove, Rita Frances Rita Dove, 1994 (1952- ), poet and educator In her poetry collections, including The Yellow House on the Corner (1980) and Museum (1983), as well as a volume of short stories entitled Fifth Sunday (1985), Dove focused her attention on the particulars of family life and personal struggle, addressing the larger social and political dimensions of black experience primarily by indirection. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Thomas and Beulah (1986) is a cycle of poems chronicling the lives of the author's maternal grandparents, born in the Deep South at the turn of the century. Her subsequent works include the poetry collections The Other Side of the House (1988) and Mother Love (1995), and the novel Through the Ivory Gate (1992). In 1993 she became the youngest person and first African American to be appointed poet laureate of the United States by the Library of Congress. Her play The Darker Face of the Earth (published 1994) was first produced in 1996.
