Deals with love, death, nature, the past, sorrow, self-image, street life, memories, aging, men and women, childhood, racism, and writers

Tenderly, joyously, sometimes in sadness,  sometimes in pain, Maya Angelou writes from the heart and  celebrates life as only she has discovered it. In  this moving volume of poetry, we hear the  multi-faceted voice of one of the most powerful and  vibrant writers of our time.
