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

By 

Josephine Thompson "The Torn Trilogy" (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: And Still I Rise (Hardcover)

...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

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

This review is from: And Still I Rise (Hardcover)

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!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Still I Rise (Hardcover)

This book is filled with wonderful, powerful poetry that really awakened me to the troubles of African Americans in that time of history. Diego Rivera's paintings in the book are staggering and breathtaking. This is a must-see for any ameteur or lover of poetry.
