5.0 out of 5 stars And Still I Rise is next to Kipling's 'IF 'and "Invictus' , October 29, 2004

By	Josephine Thompson "Torn From the Inside Out" (Oklahoma, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

...Invictus is by William E. Henley......I do not like much poetry.....but 'Still I Rise', is one of the most moving and powerful pieces of literature of our day. You can feel the rumblings of motivation rising within you as you read it---it summons the power of our ancestors as you read it... YOU FEEL this poem with all your heart--or I fear you have no heart and you remember that feeling for years after you have read it!
It is a magnificent poem that the author not only wrote, but earned through her own life.
This book would make excellent Christmas gifts of inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring book of true feelings!, June 20, 2000

By	Inspired to the fullest! (Birmingham, AL (USA)) - See all my reviews

Maya Angelou is a wonderful woman and an inspiration. Her books are like sweet melodies that flow through your head. I am 13, when I read her words of rhythm and rhyme I can't stop reading. She writes words of wisdom and truth and that's something most authors don't do! This book is a blessing and I say again a true inspiration!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was great it told of so many feelings, October 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: And Still I Rise: Selected Poems (Audio Cassette)

This book captured me. I could see how everyone felt in the poems. Maya Angelou hit my heart, I would say that she has a way with words. And Still I Rise is my favorite poem. I believe it reaches out not only African Americans but to all Americans. Maya Angelou's poems let us also see into her life. If you read her biographys you would be able to compare her poems to her life and see where she got her ideas for her poems. Everytime I need to find peace I pick up her book of poems and I read, to hear her words make me feel comfort. Maya Angelou is my favorite poet and has made me very intrested in the world of poetry. When I hear her poems I can feel the hard times that African Americans had. Yet when I need to find peace I can read these poems. All of her books have shone me that life isn't easy but that everyone can make it throught it if they have some kind of help. I believe that everyone should read this book just to get some idea of what life is like, and to see that even though life is hard you can still make it through it.
