As the world celebrates and reflects on the beautiful life of Maya Angelou, Virago presents an updated collection of her works of poetry, collected together for the first time.

From her reflections on African American life and hardship in Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie to her revolutionary celebrations of womanhood in Phenomenal Woman and Still I Rise , and her elegant tributes to dignitaries Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela ( On the Pulse of Morning and His Day Is Done , respectively), every inspiring word of Maya Angelou's poetry is included in the pages of this volume.
