For the first time, the complete collection of Maya Angelou's published poems is available in a permanent collectible, handsome hardcover edition.

Maya Angelou's poetry is lyrical and dramatic, exuberant and playful. It speaks of love, longings, and partings; of Saturday night partying and the smells and sounds of Southern cities; of freedom and shattered dreams.

Her work is just as much a part of her autobiography as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Gather Together in My Name, Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas, and The Heart of a Woman.
