I read this via audio. Maya Angelou's voice is one that I could listen to for a very long time. It's like a mix of sage and loving grandma that wrapped me up.
Celebrations was a beautiful collection and extremely accessible. If you are looking to read Angelou or to expand your readership of black poets (which you should be), give this a go. If you like audio, sit in low light and sip your coffee while Angelou's voice sings the words off the page.

I'm not a very religious person, so there was some poems that didn't really get to me. She talks about the beauty in love (romantic and familial), growing up, pain, and peace. Standout poems for me were: On the Pulse of the Morning, Continue (her poem dedicated to Oprah), When Great Trees Fall, In and out of Time

All poetry is meant to be read out loud, but Angelou's especially. These poems are straightforward, joyous, and full of power. Most were written for a specific occasion which is interesting. "Prayer" is probably my favorite of this collection.
