Search for Identity This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Cervantes was born in San Francisco and is of Mexican descent. Sensitive to the racial and ethnic prejudice she might encounter growing up in San Jose, her parents insisted that she speak only English both in and outside the home. She graduated from San Jose State College and for many years supported herself by writing and publishing. Cervantes founded and published a journal, Mango , which featured the work of Latino poets; she also wrote two volumes of poetry. Currently, she teaches at the University of Colorado at Boulder and is co-editor of

"I've added a chronology to the end of the book," Dove has said. "I never thought I'd do this in my life, but I did a chronology from 1900 to 1960. If s a very eccentric chronology, so you can see what was happening in the social structure of midwest America at the time this couple was growing up" (Rubin and Ingersoll 236). 8. Although I don't think Dove is deliberately recalling the aurora borealis of Wallace Stevens's "Auroras of Autumn," Stevens' poems play a part in any American poet's debate about the imagination's power to transform the real. In "Auroras of Autumn," as it might relate to Dove's poem, see especially Stevens' closing section with its variations on "An unhappy people in an unhappy world" (316). Another poet whose work enters this debate, in a way I think is especially important to Dove's poetry, is Robert Hayden. See especially his "The Peacock Room" (118-19), "Free Fantasia: Tiger Howers" (130-31) and "the Tatooed Man" (160).

Submit articles free The Free Library ... MELUS artId=14285291;usrSelf=false; Adapting Emerson's terms, I want to explore the way both the literary and the literal make themselves felt in the work of three contemporary poets: Lorna Dee Cervantes, Cathy Song and Rita Dove. Each of these women is a member of a different American minority, and the work of each exhibits the pressures of particular, historical reality, and of the poet's need to witness what is. All three of these writers experience what Milosz calls the way "events burdening a whole community are perceived by the poet as touching him in a most personal manner" (94-95). Yet the work of these poets is shaped not only by their cultures but also by a passion for language's possibilities, for the creative and experimental energy of poetry itself. At times this passion can seem to separate them from the very communities of which they are a part; the sensuous appeal of poetry may seem irrelevant to those who live amidst more pressing and immediate concerns. The poet's formal, literary education and her fluency with written language may also separate her from her cultural community. And while beyond the scope of this essay, the important issue of a poet's fluency in English, when her experience is multicultural and bilingual, further complicates this matter.(2)
