I've never really been into poetry but I'm trying to expand my horizons by reading or listening to books outside my typical comfort genres. I quickly picked Maya Angelou's And Still I Rise to listen to while I was getting dinner ready. I always love it when the authors narrate their own books because they use the inflection that's meant to be there, which I feel is super important with poetry.
Her poem, Woman Work, was so relatable, even though certain aspects of the woman's work I do now is much different from the woman's in the poem. But when Ms. Angelou started singing, I stopped and stood still, covered in goosebumps. It's just that powerful. I need that sound on repeat. 🖤
Powerful poetry by a powerful poet!
