Home / home / An Introduction to Rita Dove by Grace Cavalieri

Jun 11 2020

An introduction to Rita Dove by Grace Cavalieri

In a stunning video, Grace covers the life and work of the first female of color US Poet Laureate

"If critics look at a literary model of a balanced life, the thinking, feeling, sensual, and intuitive, this can be seen as a template for Rita Dove’s writing."

Grace Cavalieri's new web series "20th-Century Poets Commentaries" is off to a strong start with introductions and commentaries on such poets as Robert Hayden, Ted Kooser, Robert Pinsky, and Josephine Jacobsen.

Rita Dove, the first female of color to hold the vaunted position of US poet laureate, claims an important place in late 20th-century poetry and American history.

Her Pulitzer Prize-winning collection Thomas and Beulah, Grace explains, displays her use of intuition in creating semi-biographical poems that reach, in Dove's words, to the "inner-truth."

You can support Grace's mission to create a video on every US Poet Laureate (and then some) by buying her book Other Voices, Other Lives. 

All of her commentaries are produced by Forest Woods Media (a 501c3).
