thrift that Yeats  \u003Cbr>called the sign of a perfected manner.”  \u003Cbr>-Helen Vendler,New York Review of Books   |\n| --- |\n\nMarking the end of Pulitzer Prize winner RitaDove's two-year term as Poet Laureate of theUnited States,this new collection again confirmsher extraordinary power and grace as a poet.MotberLove calls upon the ancient Greek myth of Deme-ter and Persephone to examine the tenacity of lovebetween mother and daughter,two tumblerslocked in an eternal somersault:each mother adaughter;each daughter a potential mother.  \nIn settings as various as a patio in Arizona,thebistros and boulevards of Paris,the sun-drenchedpyramids of Mexico-and directly from the cor-ridors of the Greek myth itself-Dove exploresthis relationship and presents a modern dilemmaas well-the dilemma of a mother's letting go.  \nJust as a mother's life is circumscribed by thesweet cage of her responsibilities,most of thesepoems seek their discoveries within the bright ma-trix of fourteen erratically rhymed lines.This isnot only in homage to Rilke's Sonnets to Orpbeus,but also because,as the author says in her fore-word,“The Demeter/Persephone cycle of betrayal  \n(continued
