Working in a library gives me a chance to read some of my favorite authors. Maya Angelou is one of my favorites and she truly is PHENOMENAL!! I like this particular book because it contains all of her poems including "Phenomenal Women." I live and work in a suburb of Chicago Illinois so I have had a chance to hear her read this particular poem on Oprah Winfrey's program. I would urge anyone to buy a copy of this book and enjoy the writing of a very wonderful and phenomenal woman,Dr.Maya Angelou.If you like honest down to earth poetry then The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou is just the book you're looking for.
