Maya Angelou: The Complete Poetry by Maya Angelou
emotional
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
4.0
I like that many of her poems are straightforward but also raw and brutally honest (after all, poems should evoke some kind of emotion.) She covers topics of aging, abuse, racism, and sexuality. But my favorite passage:
“I note the obvious differences
Between each sort and type.
But we are more alike, my friends,
Than we are unalike.”
