Title: Phenomenal Woman
Author: Maya Angelou
Release Date: 17 January 1995
Rating: 5/5 stars
Just like with non-fiction, I don’t normally read poetry. I’ve read snippets of Maya Angelou’s poetry here and there, but this is the first time I’ve read her poems in their entirety.
These poems are so beautiful.
I’ve read a lot of poetry for school and whatnot, but the tone of these poems are just something else entirely. She talks about hardship and struggles, but somehow, Angelou still infuses her words with beauty. I think the emotions her poems invoke in people, is what all poets strive to do.
I will definitely read more of her poetry in the future.

When you learn, teach.
When you get, give.
As for me,
I will not be moved.

She said, But my description

I have a certain way of being in this world.

They accuse me of livin’
from day to day,
But who are they kiddin’?
So are they.

"I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
It doesn't matter how many times I read this poem, I still love it💛"
