I dont know what I expected from this book but it was beautiful. Angelou's poems felt like a hug and a warm embrace. I enjoyed a handful of poems from this book .

Maya Angelou is one of my favorite poets. I can't help but whisper her poems aloud, to a beat. And the double meanings get me every time.

I have not read a lot of poetry in my life so this was very good compared to Bukowski. There are some new favorites for me.
