I'm not a big fan of poetry and although some of these poems were good, I wasn't blown away by any of them. I did like one called "Remembrance" just because it was a little naughty but otherwise the poems were ok. (

Maya Angelou knows how to rhyme and how to be powerful with her words. Some of the poems in here are really amazing. This is a compilation of four different books of poetry by Maya Angelou. (
