From Publishers Weekly
In her fourth collection of poems, Dove harvests ripe fruits of the self. Her best lyrics are spare, intense and deeply personal, such as "Pastoral," about breastfeeding her baby, or "The Wake," which begins: "Your absence distributed itself / like an invitation. / Friends and relatives / keep coming, trying / to fill up the house." There are family snapshots etched in memory, sketches of a Midwestern girlhood, of evenings in Jerusalem, of her small daughter struggling to comprehend as her mother details the facts of life. Dove, a 1987 Pulitzer Prize winner and associate editor of Callaloo , a journal of Afro-American arts, offers an appreciation of Billie Holiday's voice that is also a meditation on the mythification of women. Her poems blend chiseled imagery, everyday observation, private dramas, political comment.

From Library Journal
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Thomas and Beulah ( LJ 10/1/89), Dove takes simple memories (drilling with flash cards as a child) or events (her daughter's curiosity about anatomy) and turns them into polished refigurings that are freighted with meaning. Some remarkable images emerge along the way--the "sun through the trees/ printing her dress with soft/ luminous paws," "the colored-only shore/crisp with litter and broken glass"--but the voice remains strong, steady, quiet, unadorned. That quiet voice protests social injustice more effectively than a thousand polemics, conveys the confusion and wonder of childhood more surely than a thousand sentimental tales. Pared yet luminous, these poems should be read by anyone who loves poetry. Highly recommended.
