Rita Dove: Seattle Arts & Lectures

Friday, Dec 03, 2021, 10:30pm - Friday, Dec 03, 2021, 11:30pm
Virtual Event with Seattle Arts & Lectures

 

Event starts at 7:30 PM Pacific

Rita Dove is a celebrated poet, prose writer, editor, musician, and former Poet Laureate of the United States—the youngest to have served in the role. Known for works of lyricism and beauty, Dove applies an unflinching eye to historical and political events. In fact, her tremendous impact on American letters has come not only through her writing but her advocacy work; the Pulitzer Prize-winning author is the only poet honored with both the National Humanities Medal and the National Medal of Arts.

Her first volume of new poems in twelve years, Playlist for the Apocalypse, is Dove’s poignant meditation on injustice: an investigation of the vacillating moral compass guiding America’s—and the world’s—experiments in democracy.

Q&A with Anastacia-Reneé.
