Gathering thirty years and seven books, this volume compiles Dove's fresh reflections on adolescence in \u003ci\u003eThe Yellow House on the Corner\u003c\/i\u003e and her irreverent musings in \u003ci\u003eMuseum\u003c\/i\u003e. She sets the moving love story of \u003ci\u003eThomas and Beulah\u003c\/i\u003e against the backdrop of war, industrialization, and the civil right struggles. The multifaceted gems of \u003ci\u003eGrace Notes\u003c\/i\u003e, the exquisite reinvention of Greek myth in the sonnets of \u003ci\u003eMother Love\u003c\/i\u003e, the troubling rapids of recent history in \u003ci\u003eOn the Bus with Rosa Parks\u003c\/i\u003e, and the homage to America's kaleidoscopic cultural heritage in \u003ci\u003eAmerican Smooth\u003c\/i\u003e all celebrate Dove's mastery of narrative context with lyrical finesse. With the \"precise, singing lines\" for which the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e praised her, Dove \"has created fresh configurations of the traditional and the experimental\" (\u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e magazine).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
