And Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
5.0
Since August 1st, I have read this book four times. Yes, the poetry in this one cut that deep. I haven't been able to mark this as 'read' and review it. Maya Angelou's stunning poems are going to haunt me forevermore.
What's astounding is the way Maya explores various themes in her poems. Still I Rise is the most uplifting poem, followed by Life Doesn't Frighten Me, Caged Bird, Phenomenal Woman, Weekend Glory, Woman Work, and One More Round. There's also melancholia in My Life Has Turned To Blue, Insomniac, Prescience, and Refusal. There are also some quirky poems like Lady Luncheon Club and The Health-Food Diner.
Maya Angelou has a knack to write intensely and I'm looking forward to reading more of her works.
