Rating:  -
The themes in Maya Angelou's poems range from pain to pleasure, from love to loss, and from freedom to oppression. The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou allows the reader to travel down this road of emotions with Angelou and see straight into the soul of the woman who is considered one of America's greatest living poets. However, this book is not for those who are "sitting on the fence" about Angelou's work. Instead, this book will not only be loved by those who already love Angelou's poetry, ... Read More

I bought one for me and one as a gift, but the pages were uneven and the binding fragile with a dented cover on one of the two. For the price, I expected a sturdier book.

I'm a huge fan of her work, so I'll be hitting the bookstores ASAP to find sturdier versions of the same collection.

Maya Angelou is one of the weakest poets to be published in America. She writes drab, shallow prose puddles that seem more theater monologues.

Maya Angelou is a beautiful person with a beautiful soul who expresses life ,love,passion,goodness and suffering in ways that leave you emotionally elevated.

Mine remains on my bookshelf...............I purchased another copy for a dear friend.

I have given this twice as "thank you" gifts to women and both loved the book.
