Reading for the 2nd time. Most recently started June 12, 2021.
I don't know how to rate this collection as I'm pretty sure I'm not grasping the full depth of these poems, especially in the second part of the collection. I read an analysis of the collection which states that Angelou uses references to Black language and culture that isn't common knowledge to whites. I do feel I understood most of the gist of the poem, but I feel I missed that subtlety that feel the full impact of these poems and see them as powerful as those in And Still I Rise.
