Rita Dove Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: b. August 28, 1952
Birthday: August 28
If I begin writing a poem that means I'm intrigued in some way by whatever it's about and that if I'm not trying to find something new and pushing the envelope in the poem I can't expect my reader to be particularly excited about it either.
