Mother Love Summary

Mother Love: Poems by Rita Dove (University of Virginia)

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 Greek myth itself-Rita Dove explores this relationship and the dilemma of letting go.

Mother Love is an unsparing book. . . . Rita Dove's laser glance exposes and cauterizes its subjects in new and disturbing ways. -- Helen Vendler - The New Yorker
