A new collection by a much celebrated poet, former Poet Laureate of the United States Rita Dove. From the opening sequence, "Cameos," which probes the private griefs and dreams of a working-class family, to the emblematic grace of a living legend like Rosa Parks, who acquiesced to public life in order to "serve the public good," these poems explore the intersection of individual fates with the grand arc of history.

Initially, I was surprised that only the last section of the book was actually about Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights movement. But having read the others, I see how the title is fitting and that we are all ‘on the bus’ moving forward and helping others do the same.

My favorite was the poem about aging entitled Gotterdammerung.

On the other end of the age spectrum I enjoyed For Sophie who’ll be in First Grade on 2000. Here are a few lines:

“May the world, in your hands,
brighten with use. May you
sleep in sweet breath
and rise always in wonder
to mountain and forest,
green gaze and silk cheek” p 71

I thoroughly enjoyed these poems. (

Lucille among the flamingos is pregnant; is pained because she can not stoop to pluck the plumpest green tomato deep on the crusted vine.

Palomino, horse of shadows. Pale of the gyrfalcon streaking free, a reckoning - the dark climb out a crack in the earth.
