"Still I Rise" and Rising

This book is filled with wonderful, powerful poetry that really awakened me to the troubles of African Americans in that time of history. Diego Rivera's paintings in the book are staggering and breathtaking. This is a must-see for any ameteur or lover of poetry.

Fabulous

Maya Angelou's poetry is so phenomenal. And the power of her voice reading her own words, is really moving.

And Still I Rise is next to Kipling's 'IF 'and "Invictus'

...Invictus is by William E. Henley......I do not like much poetry.....but 'Still I Rise', is one of the most moving and powerful pieces of literature of our day. You can feel the rumblings of motivation rising within you as you read it---it summons the power of our ancestors as you read it... YOU FEEL this poem with all your heart--or I fear you have no heart and you remember that feeling for years after you have read it!
It is a magnificent poem that the author not only wrote, but earned through her own life.
This book would make excellent Christmas gifts of inspiration.

The beloved and bestselling author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings reads aloud from her third book of verse. She not only gives life to many of her most cherished poems, but she also presents personal introductions to several favorites, including "One More Round," "Woman Work," and "Life Doesn't Frighten Me."

These poems are powerful, distinctive, and fresh -- and, as always, full of the lifting rhythms of love and remembering. And Still Rise is written, and read, from the heart -- truly a celebration of life.

The thirteen unabridged poems included here are: "A Kind of Love, Some Say," " Remembrance," "Where We Belong, a Duet," "Refusal," "California Prodigal," "Willie," "One More Round," "Woman Work," "Still I Rise," "Ain't That Bad?," " Life Doesn't Frighten Me," "On Aging," and "Thank You, Lord."
