Book Description
Here in one volume is a selection of the extraordinary poems of Rita Dove, who, as the nation's Poet Laureate from 1993 to 1995, brought poetry into the lives of millions of people. Along with a new introduction and poem, Selected Poems comprises Dove's collections The Yellow House on the Corner, which includes a group of poems devoted to the themes of slavery and freedom; Museum, intimate ruminations on home and the world; and finally, Thomas and Beulah, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1987, a verse cycle loosely based on her grandparents' lives. Precisely yet intensely felt, resonant with the voices of ordinary people, Rita Dove's Selected Poems is marked by lyric intensity and compassionate storytelling.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lyrics of Life Down seaside mountain pedestals, From summits where tired Winds are fain, Spent with the vast and howling main, To treasure half their island-gain.) And strew faint sweetness from some Old Egyptian's fine worm-eaten shroud, Which breaks to dust when once unrolled; And Shred dim perfume, like a cloud From chamber long to quiet vowed.

Book Description
My book ‘LYRICS OF LIVES’ enumerates various categories of poems, namely : Nature, Life, Death, Triumph, Suspense, Challenges of growing Urbanization and other virtues like truth, innocence and piety. All my poems revolve around the beauty of heart and soul, how one battles against adversities, how one comes out victorious even though situations pose numerous hurdle. I’ve even taken a peek into issues of life and death, our eternal journey that continues forever. The baggage of this life transcends into the next, good or bad, we need to take responsibilities of our deeds. The plight of our Mother Earth, the so called ‘Blue Planet’ endowed to us, is in an alarming state! My poems attempts to awaken mankind to save our Mother Earth. The enchanting beauty of nature has been depicted beautifully in my poem ‘The Wilderness’ that takes a supreme place among all my poems as it defines life that enjoys the ecstasy of nature, far away from worldly clutter, where you feel closest to the Almighty and take the delight, it happens to offer. Also suspense takes a special place among the list of my poems, not with an aim to scare alone but seeing to it that suspense leaves you with some interesting message. Hope that my readers find them engrossing and at the same time enjoyable. Also the race to touch the pinnacle of success, amass tangible possessions, leave behind others, has turned the new genre into machines. Their ‘speed and success drive’ have snapped them tragically from their near and dear ones. My poem ‘Lyrics of Lives’ dwells on piety, piety within family and piety for the larger family under the sky. This will be clear through ‘Maami’ and ‘After Thirty Years’. Apart from spiritual angle, my poems talks about the bitterness of human society, how they abandon people who might need them, whose agonies could be attended through their love and care but alas! Life perishes and others never get to know why. My poems delve with streaks of personality that one is born with and which is a hard crust to crack yet I also believe that certain catastrophic incident in one’s life has the ability to reformat one’s perspective towards life as will be apparent in my poems, ‘The Chiselled Diamond’ and ‘Blissful Amiss’. Finally ‘My Little Restless Nephew’ and ‘Oh! Dad’ comes along with the fragrance of innocence and reverence, the former brings smile to the face while the latter fills tears into eyes for having lost such endearing dad, a God substitute in most of our lives.
