商品簡介
Maya Angelou's poetry - lyrical and dramatic, exuberant and playful - speaks of love, longing, partings; of Saturday night partying, and the smells and sounds of Southern cities; of freedom and shattered dreams. 'The caged bird sings/ with a fearful trill / of things unknown / but longed for still / and his tune is heard / on the distant hill / for the caged bird / sings of freedom.' Of her poetry, Kirkus Reviews has written, 'It is just as much a part of her autobiography as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and the volumes that follow.' 'It is true poetry she is writing . .
. it has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity' M. F.
K. Fisher '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
