Rita Dove "For The Love Of Books"




"For the Love of books" by Rita Dove .It is about Rita Dove and how she loves books as a child.In school she was very quiet.She loved books so much she could gaze at a book while closed and think of all the possibilities the book could hold.One day her teacher took her to a book signing which really made her think.Rita Dove decided that she was going to persue her love of books.


Rita Dove is apart of social justice because she has been described as a quiet leader and as an artist who of African-American experiences. Dove's lyrical and accessible poetry reflects the author's interest in music and drama .She also has her sensitivity to women's issues.She stands as a socialist for women and African Americans.

connection:I can relate to Rita Dove and her love of books because I also love books .
