Maya Angelou's poetry – lyrical and dramatic, exuberant and playful – speaks of love, longing, and 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 biography as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Gather Together in My Name, Singing' and Swingin' and Getting Merry Like Christmas, and Heart of a Woman.
