Dove is the Commonwealth Professor of English at the

1995, and as poet laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia
from 2004 to 2006. She has written more than a dozen books

Dove loved poetry and music from a young age, and the hon-
ors for her own artistry began early: White House Presidential
Scholar, Fulbright Scholar, National Endowment for the Arts
Fellow, and Guggenheim Fellow. Her book Thomas and Beulah
won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1987. She was honored with
the Library of Virginia’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008,
and she received the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal in
2009. She is the only poet to have received both the National
Humanities Medal (in 1996) and the National Medal of Arts (in

University of Iowa, and she has received more than twenty honor-
ary degrees.
