Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie
Author(s): Maya Angelou
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".
