Rita Dove's poetry collection, "Collected Poems: 1974–2004," showcases her extensive range that has established her as a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet of the United States and recipient of the National Humanities Medal and the National Medal of Arts. Spanning thirty years and seven books, this volume compiles Dove's reflective thoughts on adolescence in "The Yellow House on the Corner" and her uncompromising musings in "Museum." She narrates the poignant love story of Thomas and Beulah against the backdrop of war, industry, and civil rights struggles. The multifaceted gems of "Grace Notes," the revolutionary retelling of the Greek myth in the sonnets of "Mother Love," the unsettling currents of recent history in "On the Bus with Rosa Parks," and the acknowledgment of the richness of American cultural heritage in "American Smooth" celebrate Dove's mastery of narrative emotion with lyrical skill.
