About This Item
First edition of Angelou's third book of poetry, signed by the author, which includes her famous poems "Still I Rise" and "Phenomenal Woman." Her 32 poems divided into three sections explore hope and resilience through the lens of gender and race. A compelling collection by the prolific award-winning author and activist, who once described her work thus: "I speak to the Black experience, but I am always talking about the human condition-about what we can endure, dream, fail at and still survive." Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.
