Selected Poems Through the Ivory Gate Rita Dove's weekly column in the Washington Post Official Rita Dove site Rita Dove's Academy of American Poets page ... Christian Science Monitor The Secret Garden I was ill, lying on my bed of old papers, when you came with white rabbits in your arms; and the doves scattered upwards, flying to mothers, and the snails sighed under their baggage of stone . . . Now your tongue grows like celery between us; Because of our love-cries, cabbage darkens in its nest; the cauliflower thinks of her pale, plump children and turns greenish-white in a light like the ocean's. I was sick, fainting in the smell of teabags, when you came with tomatoes, a good poetry. I am being wooed. I am being conquered by a cliff of limestone that leaves chalk on my breasts. Sunday Greens She wants to hear wine pouring. She wants to taste change. She wants pride to roar through the kitchen till it shines like straw, she wants lean to replace tradition. Ham knocks in the pot, nothing but bones, each with its bracelet of flesh. The house stinks like a zoo in summer

SUBSCRIBE Newspaper Delivery Click Here SIGN UP Email Newsletter Click Here ARCHIVES 1985 to Present Click Here Rita Dove BY ROBIN FARMER TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER Feb 01, 2002 2000 PROFILES Rita Dove fell in love with poetry as a youngster growing up in Akron, Ohio, where she was born in 1952. Bright and eager to learn, she developed a passion for reading, writing and music in a home in which all three were encouraged. Then, becoming a poet wasn't a goal. "Though I loved to write," Dove would say later, "I assumed I would some day, you know, `put away childish things.' That I could do what I loved as an adult had not occurred to me." She began earning major honors and awards in 1970, when she was named a presidential scholar as one of the top high school graduates in the United States. She was a Fulbright Scholar at the Universitat Tubingen in West Germany and a Fellow at the University of Iowa. While a college student, Dove decided she "wanted to be a writer more than anything else" and to support herself by teaching. That decision and Dove's talent have made her one of the most honored of contemporary American writers.
