Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[Dove] combines a rare lyric talent with sensual celebration and a ceaselessly questing intelligence." The Independent "An outstanding poet of the delicate nuances present in social complexity, of the lyric reflection embedded in the epic journey." The Times Literary Supplement

Reseña del editor:

This exciting new collection pays homage to America's kaleidoscopic cultural heritage: from the glorious shimmer of an operatic soprano to Bessie Smith's mournful wail; from paradise lost to angel-food cake; from hot-shots at the local shooting range to the Negro jazz band in the First World War, whose music conquered Europe before the Allied advance. Like the ball-room dancing couple of the title poem, smiling and making the difficult seem effortless, Rita Dove explores shifting surfaces between perception and imitation.
