Rita Dove: Playlist for the Apocalypse

Introduced by Chet'la Sebree

Nov 15, 2021

As for all the words, left out, banging at the gates,
We could let them in.

Playlist for the Apocalypse is Rita Dove’s first collection of new poems in more than a decade. “Few are this capacious, this capable, this serious, and this pleasurable to read,” writes Craig Morgan Teicher. “The lyric beauty of Rita Dove’s poems makes them unforgettable; their deep knowledge of history and its consequences make them permanent.”
