Description

Poems of love and regret, of racial strife and confrontation, songs of people and songs of the heart - all are charged with Maya Angelou's zest for life and her rage at injustice. Lyrical poems of longing, wry glances at betrayal and isolation combine with a fierce insight into "hateful wrath".

Reviews

'Black, bitter and beautiful, she speaks of our survival' - JAMES BALDWIN 'Maya Angelou writes from the heart and her language rings clear and true ... Whether joyful, sad or playful, her poems speak with delicacy and depth of feeling' - Publishers Weekly 'It is true poetry she is writing ... it has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity' - M.F.K. Fisher
