DreamSE22 (USA: CO) (2006/10/11): I really enjoyed this book, given that I'm not a big fan of poetry. This is the first book I have ever read by Maya Angelou believe it or not, and I wouldn't mind reading some of her fiction novels.Her poetry reminded me a lot of the lyrics Nina Simone wrote in her lifetime. Nina Simone is one of my favorite artists of all time and I especially liked her lyrics because they were so expressive. My favorite poem in this entire book was actually the first one entitled "They Went Home". It set a tone for what I could expect throughout the rest of the book. Excellent reading! I'm ready to pass it along.
