Through the Ivory Gate by Rita Dove
A debut novel by the 1987 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, about an artist on a journey of self-discovery--navigating a family secret, racism, and the conflict between marriage and career. Skillfully evokes the mood of a decade when social change seemed not only possible but imminent. --Washington Post Book World When a woman returns to her Midwestern hometown as an artist-in-residence to teach puppetry to schoolchildren, her homecoming also means grappling with artistic ambition, memories of rejected love, and shocking truths about her family.
RITA DOVE was born in Akron, Ohio, in 1952. She received the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for her third book of poems, Thomas and Beulah.
