Reviews
Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
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.
