I really do love Maya Angelou. This audiobook was short and sweet. I loved listening to Maya Angelou reading the poems.

I know this will be controversial, but....
This is written in five parts, like the life cycle of a flower: wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. Some really disturbing, personal poetry is amongst these poems. It's a celebration in all it's forms: romantic, sexual and parental (I may have missed some). I originally wrote that the poems were 'so good', but I wonder in hindsight whether they actually are. In some ways, the poems are all very disjointed. You don't even really know where one ends and another starts (and vice versa). I'm not keen on how the titles of the poems are written at the bottom of the poems, and some are just left hanging in the middle of a page, like a motivational slogan. I read quite a bit of poetry, but this just isn't for me. I wouldn't go by my opinion though. I strongly advise you, if you're interested, to have a go and read Kaur's poetry yourselves.
