Loved reading this book - very poetic & completely devoid of self-pity despite Maya's obviously deprived background & her having been the victim of extensive racial prejudice.
My only issue with it is how Maya who seems to be an extremely intelligent woman, doesn't ask herself whether it is a good thing that she had a baby resulting from an apparent one-night stand @ 16 - it seems that casual sex was almost expected & her Mum almost wanted her to be sleeping with strangers. She does seem to have come from the type of background placing her at risk of teenage pregnancy but maybe should have put a 'health warning' on young readers warning them not to indulge in risky sexual behaviours as getting pregnant at 16 is (despite ...

A woman before her time, thrilling and nail biting at times. Her struggle as a single parent in a diffcult time. Her stand for her rights and opinions in a time when black people where standing up and finally being listened too.
I have never wanted to finish a book so i could get onto the next book but this new edition all the books under one is fantastic!! Thank you Maya Angelou >>More Details |

Poems of Maya Angelouby: Maya Angelou January 01, 1920 |

i am 15 and have not yet finished this wonderful book, but i'm loving every minute of it so far. Still I Rise is by far my favorite. I never realized a single poem could hold such inspiration and strength. A book that should be read by everyone of all ages and colors. Many thanks to Maya Angelou for such lovely poems.

For Maya Angelou, this line from an ancient spiritual epitomizes the civil rights struggle in 1957, a struggle in which she was intimately involved on many levels. Continuing the autobiography she started with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, she reveals her personal life from 1957 - 1965, drawing the reader into the individual, human costs of segregation and detailing her passion and commitment to end it. It is her additional commitment to the welfare of her son, however, and her determination that he will become a man of honesty and principle that unites the several sections of this book and gives it heart.
Angelou had overcome a tormented childhood to become a singer/dancer in the show Porgy and Bess before semi-settling in California. ... Read More: >>More Details |

"You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise." That is a excerpt from her poem "and still I rise". Its not a poem to me but a prayer. Maya Angelou's poetry from "phenomenal woman" to "i know why a bird caged sings" are not just thought provoking but instant upliftment for the heart. Its simple and vivid at the same time. I am not an seasoned critic but you need to read this poem to realise its power... >>More Details |

This book is about Maya Angelou emigrating to Ghana with her son.

Maya Angelou began her autobiographical series with 'I know why the caged bird sings', and now ends it with, this, the sixth and very last instalment, which takes us on a journey from the point that she returned from Africa to the US to work with Malcolm X. Poignantly it brings us right up to the point where she begins to write 'I know why the caged bird sings'. In the novel we see Maya reunited with her mother and brother, before being told the news that the man she had come to work with - Malcolm X - had been assassinated. She is devastated, but tries to put her life back together - starring on stage in local theatres and conducting Market research on black women. She discovers that many of the people she surveys in Watts, an area of Los ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a enjoyable and easy to read book. It is easy to start and once you get going you can't put it down. Maya Angelou involves you in her feelings and thoughts through her young adult life. It is about the pressures which she faces in trying to bring up a child as a innocent young black female, living in South America in the late forties. The book at first centres around racism and later around her struggle to earn a living and look after her son, while trying keeping her pride and respectability. Gather Together in My Name is the second of five books in her autobiography. There is no need to read the first one before this one as each book is a self-contained story. I found this an intresting book. Throughout the book you are overpowered by ... Read More:
