Als, Hilton (5 August 2002). "Songbird: Maya Angelou takes another look at herself". The New Yorker . Retrieved 1 January 2012. Oysa ben bu şiirde çok daha mistik bir hava sezinliyorum. İnsanın ölümünün kendi kıyameti olduğu düşüncesi geliyor aklıma. Angelou studied and began writing poetry at a young age. [3] After her rape at the age of eight, as recounted in her first autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings(1969), she dealt with her trauma by memorizing and reciting great works of literature, including poetry, which helped bring her out of her self-imposed muteness. [4] Angelou considered herself a playwright and poet when her editor Robert Loomis challenged her to write Caged Bird, [5] but she has been best known for her autobiographies. [6] Many of her readers identify her as a poet first and an autobiographer second, [6] but like Lynn Z. Bloom, many critics consider her autobiographies more important than her poetry.

I particularly loved the rebellion that shone through 'Still I Rise'.

Bu şiirin devamında çizilen atmosfer son derece "apokaliptik" bir atmosfer. Siyahilerin yaşadığı baskı ve acıların insanın kozmostaki anlamı ile birbirine eklemlenmesiyle, acıların tek bir acıya dönüştüğü nihai bir durum. Tolstoy'un İvan İlyiç'in Ölümü eserindeki "ama neden acı? öyleyse?" sorusunu hatırlayın.Personal favourites include Caged Bird, Preacher Don't Send Me, On Working White Liberals, Still I Rise, and Equality. I will let her speak for herself, and hope her words help those of us who turned out a bit shy, or short, or insecure, or invisible, or overlooked, to grow an inch while reading: Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie (1971). New York: Random House. ISBN 978-0-394-47142-6 [16] Her publisher, Random House, placed the poems of her previous volumes in this collection, perhaps to capitalize on her popularity following her reading of her poem " On the Pulse of Morning" at President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993. The volumes included in the collection are Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie (1971), Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well (1975), And Still I Rise (1978), Shaker, Why Don't You Sing? (1983), and I Shall Not Be Moved (1990). Also included was "On the Pulse of Morning". Angelou's publisher placed four previously-published poems in a smaller volume, entitled Phenomenal Woman in 1995.

All my work, my life, everything I do is about survival, not just bare, awful, plodding survival, but survival with grace and faith. While one may encounter many defeats, one must not be defeated.Personally, I'm always overwhelmed by Maya Angelou herself more than anything; she breathes life into all and everything, the intensity of her phrasing and her rhythmic presence which a lot of times undermine or perhaps overpower her works when not delivered by her personally and that is why it's best to watch/hear her deliver these poems to enhance the enjoyment. For the first time, the complete collection of Maya Angelou's published poems-including "On the Pulse of Morning"--In a permanent collectible, handsome hardcover edition In Angelou's case, she combines sentimentality (Give me a cool drink of water 'fore I die...) with a triumphant tone of overcoming which always signals Public Relations. Then she adds a supcon of platitudes, like "one thing I cry for / ..believe in enough to die for...everyman's responsibility to man." a b Manegold, Catherine S. (20 January 1993).

Italie, Hillel (6 May 2011). "Robert Loomis, editor of Styron, Angelou, retires". The Washington Times. Associated Press . Retrieved 1 January 2012. Angelou'nun her şiirini siyahilere uygulanan baskı penceresinden yorumlamamak gerek. Onun şiirleri son derece çeşitli felsefi temalardan besleniyor. Her şeyden evvel çok güçlü bir hümanizma şiirlerinde hissediliyor.Maya Angelou, acılarla dolu hayatında, ki buraya yazmaya bile elimin varmadığı acılar, son derece harika şiirler ortaya çıkarmış. Bunlardan bazıları beni özellikle etkiledi. Onların üzerinde duracağım. bu durumu nasıl izah edebiliriz? Burada yaratılan post-travmatik atmosferin haricinde bir şey sözkonusu. Angelou bence satır aralarında insan yaşamı ile ölüm arasındaki keskin ikirciliği felsefi tema haline getirmiş. Maya Angelou (2010). I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Random House Publishing Group.

And when it's combined with an unapologetic and fiercely sexual femininity, it becomes almost too hot to handle.

The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou (1994). New York: Random House. ISBN 978-0-679-42895-4 She was one of the most honored writers of her generation, earning an extended list of honors and awards, as well as more than 30 honorary degrees. [6] She was a prolific writer of poetry; her volume Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie (1971) was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, [7] and she was chosen by President Bill Clinton to recite her poem " On the Pulse of Morning" during his inauguration in 1993. [8] Throughout her illustrious career in letters, Maya Angelou gifted, healed, and inspired the world with her words. Now the beauty and spirit of those words live on in this new and complete collection of poetry that reflects and honors the writer’s remarkable life. What I like about poetry is that it is never completely "read". Like the Akshaya Patra ("Inexhaustible Vessel") in the Indian Epic Mahabharata, which keeps on delivering food no matter how many times one approaches it, a poetry book will keep on supplying food for the intellect. In every new reading of a favourite poem, you will find something fresh to appreciate. a b Waldron, Clarence (25 December 2006). "Maya Angelou: On Christmas, Dave Chappelle and What Inspires Her".
