	Rita Dove
		Rita Frances Dove was born in Akron, Ohio on 28 August 1952.
		This poem is one of the many in which Dove gives voice to her interest in "the underside of the story" not in "big historical events." Like many African American writers, Dove treats history with suspicion; she knows that the official records record time, not moments, and only moments provide the real source of truth.
		According to Dove, to inhabit "space with thought is analogous to the notion that language is a house we inhabit--a poet explores those spaces of sensual apprehension made inhabitable by vocabulary and syntax" (The Poet's World).

	Edward Byrne: "Review of Rita Dove's 'American Smooth'"
		Indeed, given Dove's history as a trained musician and singer, not to mention the associations conveniently suggested by her last name, such comparisons between verse and song, the metrical and the musical, in her works have seemed even more natural parallels for critics to track and spotlight.
		By the time Rita Dove had written her seventh collection of poetry, On the Bus with Rosa Parks (1999), any notion that her poetry was influenced by the musical background she had experienced had been repeatedly confirmed, and her poems continued to exhibit lyrical expression.
		In this new book, Rita Dove appears to have blended the lyricism which derives from her musical background with a fresh sense of movement and rhythm within the poems that owes something to her developed interest and participation in dancing.
