| Description: |
A collection of poems by Rita Love, Poet Laureate of the United States between 1993 and 1995. The poems call upon the ancient Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone to examine the deep relationships and tenacity of love between mother and daughter. |
| Synopsis: |
Marking the end of Pulitzer Prize-winner Rita Dove's two-year term as Poet Laureate of the United States, this new collection again confirms her extraordinary power and grace as a poet. "Mother Love" calls upon the ancient Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone to examine the tenacity of love between mother and daughter, two tumblers locked in an eternal somersault: each mother a daughter, each daughter a potential mother. In settings as various as a patio in Arizona, the bistros and boulevards of Paris, the sun-drenched pyramids of Mexico - and directly from the corridors of the Greek myth itself - Dove explores this relationship and presents a modern dilemma as well - the dilemma of a mother's letting go. |
