Mother Love by Rita Dove

In settings as various as a patio in Arizona, the bistros and boulevards of Paris, the sun-drenched pyramids of Mexico and directly from the Greek myth itself Rita Dove explores this relationship and the dilemma of letting go.
"This volume shows Dove—Pulitzer Prize winner, novelist, and 1993-95 US. Poet Laureate—at the height of her poetic powers." -- Publishers Weekly
"Mother Love is an unsparing book. . . . Rita Dove's laser glance exposes and cauterizes its subjects in new and disturbing ways." -- Helen Vendler - The New Yorker
