The Complete Collected Poems by Maya Angelou
3.0
I'm barely an intermediate poetry enthusiast, (there are poets I appreciate and I do plan to read more) but I AM an avid Maya Angelou fan. When she died, I realized that to my dismay, aside from her more famous poems ("Still I Rise", "Phenomenal Woman"), I'd read so little of her poetry, which comprised so much of her body of work.
Unfortunately, I found that I didn't connect with most of the poems in this collection, but did walk away with a handful of new ones to appreciate. Perhaps, as I previously stated, because my knowledge and experience of poetry has been so limited (and even contentious at times), I was unable to appreciate it.
