Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine (price-clipped). First Edition/First Printing. This copy of "Grace Notes: Poems" has been SIGNED by Rita Dove on the title page! Her fourth book of poems--her first since winning the 1987 Pulitzer Prize in poetry--Rita Dove expands her role as a leading voice in contemporary American letters. The title of the collection serves as an umbrella for the intimate concerns expressed in the forty-eight poems; in music, grace notes are those added to the basic melody, the embellishments that--if played or sung at the right moment with just the right touch--can break your heart. Grading of the dust jacket is due to being price-clipped (otherwise "Fine".). Signed by Author(s).
