Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Old Folk's Home, Jerusalem Genre Poem Keywords Aging Death and Dying Human Worth Institutionalization Summary Visiting an old folk's home in Jerusalem, the narrator notes the details of life and of natureevening, the bees' buzzing busy-ness gone for the day, "the honeysuckle / in its golden dotage, all the sickrooms ajar." There ends, however, the "normal," for in the next lines we are brought up short with "Law of the Innocents: What doesn't end, sloshes over . . . even here, where destiny girds the cucumber." What are the Innocents doing in an old folk's home? And are the honeysuckle and cucumber vines the "destiny"the liquid life-lines of feeding and IV tubesthat "gird" the occupants? In the second stanza, the narrator recognizes that no matter what the occupants (or the narrator himself/herself) have ever accomplished, nothing of worldly success matters here. What is real are "horned thumbnail[s] hooked into an ear" and "gray underwear wadded over a belt."

http://www.ncteamericancollection.org/litmap/dove_rita_oh.htm

Extractions: Sycamore High School, Cincinnati, Ohio I. Personal and Professional Biography "With the consistently accomplished work of Rita Dove, there is at least one clear sign if not of a coming renaissance of poetry, then at least of the emergence of an unusually strong new figure who might provide leadership by brilliant example" (Arnold Rampersad qtd. in Bloom 63). Born in Akron, Ohio, in 1952 ("Rita Dove" par. 1), Rita Frances Dove was the second child born to Ray A. Dove and Elvira Elizabeth Hord (Bloom 59). Elvira was a housekeeper, and Ray was the first black chemist at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Akron (Gates 481). Dove's childhood proved to be relatively stable; her family was "a first-generation middle-class family" (Dove qtd. in Gates 481). Rita Dove was an ambitious child and a very good student; she was ranked among the top one hundred high school seniors in the nation and was therefore invited to the White House as a "Presidential Scholar." Dove then went on to attend Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She graduated summa cum laude in 1973 and entered Tubingen University in West Germany on a Fulbright scholarship (Bloom 59).

Extractions: May 26, 1993 Steven Ratiner Named the next poet laureate of the United States, Ms. Dove is a professor of English at the University of Virginia. In 1987, her collection "Thomas and Beulah" made her one of the youngest winners ever of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. The book encapsulates the history of the 20th-century African-American migration to the North by focusing on her grandparents and the family they created in Ohio. In "Grace Notes," the poems are perhaps more intimate but still resonate with the voices of friends and family, still captivate us with her startling sense of the particular. Her recent novel, "Through the Ivory Gate," explores the way the chords of memory and imagination are blended in the composition of a life. Music is a motif that runs throughout Rita Dove's writing, coming to represent the pure realm of spirit at the core of our experience. Her verse, by turns, wails like a jazz riff, soars like a gospel choir, and simmers with a classical elegance. She reminds us of the communal power we inherit along with our spoken language and the beauty of the voices that are, perhaps now, singing within us as well. Steven Ratiner One of the central features in your poetry and fiction is the power of history and memory. Where does that drive to tell the story originate in your life?

Extractions: MississippiReview.com NEWS ABOUT CONTEST ... CENTER FOR WRITERS BACK ISSUES: BELLIN : I wonder if you'd mind starting by telling us how you came to be a writer, and why. Were there experiences in your childhood that were key ones? DOVE : I grew up reading; that was the first step. Our television viewing was rationed. There were books in the house, and we were encouraged to read as much as we wanted and anything we wanted, which was an important element. I would read everything from comic strips and comic books straight up to Shakespeare, and I didn't see any problems with the transition [laughs]. At first, I didn't distinguish much between high and low literature. Books were places I could go to, where I could be anywhere in the world. Writing was a natural next step-to want to do the thing itself instead of allowing it to happen to me, to create my own world of possibilities. Mad Then, when I was in eleventh grade, my English teacher took me to a book signing at a downtown hotel. I hadn't told her that I liked to write; I had shown her nothing beyond the critical papers we were required to compose for school. She must have suspected something, though, because she called up my parents for permission to take me and another student to this book signing, and that's how John Ciardi became my first walking, speaking, breathing author. I didn't know who John Ciardi was, but I was sufficiently impressed to buy a copy of his translation of Dante's
