SynopsisAward-winning poet, author, playwright, historian, songwriter, singer, dancer, stage and screen producer, director, and civil rights activist: Dr. Maya Angelou needs no introduction. She is a true American icon-and now she is the first living poet included in Sterling's celebrated Poetry for Young People series. Twenty-five of her finest poems capture a range of emotions and experiences, from the playful "Harlem Hopscotch" to the prideful "Me and My Work" to the soul-stirring "Still I Rise." While her writings deal with the historic struggles of African-Americans, they all resonate with spiritual strength and hope for the future that everyone can relate to. A special inclusion in this volume is "A Brave and Startling Truth," written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. Award-winning artist Jerome Lagarrigue masterfully illustrates each verse with evocative, stunning pictures. Dr. Edwin Graves Wilson, the Provost Emeritus of Wake Forest University and a longtime colleague of Dr. Angelou, has written the book's introduction, the introductions to the individual poems, and the annotations. , The latest collection in this acclaimed series features 25 of the finest poems by poet, author, playwright, and historian Maya Angelou, from the playful Harlem Hopscotch to the soul-stirring Still I Rise.
