Gathering thirty years and seven books, this volume compiles Dove's fresh reflections on adolescence in \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow House on the Corner\u003c\/em\u003e and her irreverent musings in \u003cem\u003eMuseum\u003c\/em\u003e.

The multifaceted gems of \u003cem\u003eGrace Notes\u003c\/em\u003e, the exquisite reinvention of Greek myth in the sonnets of \u003cem\u003eMother Love\u003c\/em\u003e, the troubling rapids of recent history in \u003cem\u003eOn the Bus with Rosa Parks\u003c\/em\u003e, and the homage to America's kaleidoscopic cultural heritage in \u003cem\u003eAmerican Smooth\u003c\/em\u003e all celebrate Dove's mastery of narrative context with lyrical finesse. With the \"precise, singing lines\" for which the \u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e praised her, Dove \"has created fresh configurations of the traditional and the experimental\" (\u003cem\u003ePoetry\u003c\/em\u003e magazine).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755714183456,"sku":"9780393354935","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/896cc984dbd334cedc0dc666a8475fc4.webp?v=1780066677","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/collected-poems-1974-2004-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
