This collection (though short) is a fantastic sampling of Maya Angelou's work.
When you learn, teach.
When you get, give.
As for me,
I will not be moved.

They accuse me of livin’
from day to day,
But who are they kiddin’?
So are they.

I generally have a hard time with poetry-- I don't read much of it-- but these were really lovely. Maya Angelou's writing is powerful, inspirational, and passionate. "Phenomenal Woman" is a great poem celebrating women, but the one that caught my attention in particular was "Our Grandmothers", recounting how women of the past have paved the way, in often painful and difficult times, for the generations after.
