Maya Angelou is one of America's great poets, and this is one of her most treasured collections. These poems are about the very personal, about being black in America, and about being a woman. The individual poems are mostly short, but taken together they build up a layered and complex whole. Angelou express the strength and the struggles of the working poor,of women, of black Americans, and the intersection of those three identities.
And in this audio edition we hear her words in her own voice, strong, a little rough, and rich with feeling and expression.
Highly recommended.
I bought this audiobook.
