Click here to read, hear, and see the poem. A few words from Karin Wittenborg, University Librarian Arriving in Charlottesville last fall as the new University Librarian, I found that an immediate and pleasant task was to begin planning a suitable way to celebrate the acquisition of the University of Virginia Libraries' four-millionth volume. Research libraries never leave such milestones to chance; a worthy candidate is given much thought. In reflecting upon the qualities of this institution, I knew the four-millionth volume must symbolize our traditional strengths in books and manuscripts yet also acknowledge our leading role in electronic technology. The volume must interweave these elements and represent our vision of the Library's role in the twenty-first century. Many ideas were generated, but one stood out as especially appealing. We are fortunate that Rita Dove, United States Poet Laureate, is on the University of Virginia faculty as a member of the English Department, and we were eager to see if one of her poems could serve as the four-millionth volume. Ms. Dove kindly agreed, and we turned to Claire Van Vliet of the Janus Press to create a handmade book based on the poem "Lady Freedom Among Us." Ms. Dove read the poem at the occasion of the return of the statue

Su libro más reciente es una reelaboración del la antigua historia griega de Demeter y Perséfone. En muchos de sus poemas, R. Dove usa la forma soneto, y sitúa su historia de la traición y regeneración que está en tensión entre madre e hija, en lugares tan variados como París, México, Sicilia y Arizona. Arnold Rampersad dice en la revista Callalo, "De logro consistente.... la mente de Dove es una mente brillante que busca para sí la actuación más amplia posible, un rango de referencia constantemente en expansión, las distinciones más precisas y las más sutiles tonalidades del significado... Su carrera es excepcional."

Emmeline Pankhurst Helen Keller Charles Lindbergh Bill Wilson ... Andrei Sakharov The Torchbearer Rosa Parks Her simple act of protest galvanized America's civil rights revolution BY RITA DOVE How she sat there, the time right inside a place so wrong it was ready. From "Rosa," in On the Bus with Rosa Parks by Rita Dove We know the story. One December evening, a woman left work and boarded a bus for home. She was tired; her feet ached. But this was Montgomery, Ala., in 1955, and as the bus became crowded, the woman, a black woman, was ordered to give up her seat to a white passenger. When she remained seated, that simple decision eventually led to the disintegration of institutionalized segregation in the South, ushering in a new era of the civil rights movement. This, anyway, was the story I had heard from the time I was curious enough to eavesdrop on adult conversations. I was three years old when a white bus driver warned Rosa Parks, "Well, I'm going to have you arrested," and she replied, "You may go on and do so." As a child, I didn't understand how doing nothing had caused so much activity, but I recognized the template: David slaying the giant Goliath, or the boy who saved his village by sticking his finger in the dike. And perhaps it is precisely the lure of fairy-tale retribution that colors the lens we look back through. Parks was 42 years old when she refused to give up her seat. She has insisted that her feet were not aching; she was, by her own testimony, no more tired than usual. And she did not plan her fateful act: "I did not get on the bus to get arrested," she has said. "I got on the bus to go home."

History as seen from an African-American perspective is perhaps her most important theme: the history of her country, as in the slavery poem sequence of The Yellow House on the Corner Thomas and Beulah (1986), her grandparents' life story in verse. In her many collections, Dove also writes compellingly of mother-daughter relations, e.g., Mother Love (1995), everyday life, travel, and the aesthetic experience itself. From 1993 to 1995 she was U.S. poet laureate, the first African American to hold the post. An English professor at the Univ. of Virginia, Dove has also written short stories, a play, and a novel.
