In the spring of 1987, a few weeks after receiving the Pulitzer Prize, Rita Dove is reading several of her poems at "Writers at Work" in Park City, Utah. (Correction: The event she refers to in the first poem took place in 1937, not 1957.)

I have a video up right now called Soul To Soul . The poetry piece is called He's A Wonder its from my book called Soul To Soul Inspirations . I hope you check it out and give me some feed back on it . Thank you very much in advance .

  • Of all of her work, this is among my several favorites. And to see her read it in 1987 is a real treat. At the top of her game.

    Thanks for posting this.
