These poems are powerful, distinctive, and fresh-and, as always, full of the lifting rhythms of love and remembering. And Still I Rise is written from the heart, a celebration of life as only Maya Angelou has discovered it.It is true poetry she is writing, M.F.K. Fisher has observed, not just rhythm, the beat, rhymes. I find it very moving and at times beautiful. It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity. . . . It is astounding, flabbergasting, to recognize it, in all the words I read every day and night . . . it gives me heart, to hear so clearly the caged bird singing and to understand her notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539241107744,"sku":"NEW0394502523","price":14.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61VJeZK3SxL.jpg?v=1777487917","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/and-still-i-rise-a-book-of-poems-0394502523","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
