Maya Angelou is a poet. The novel is simple poetry. From the back cover: James Baldwin writes: This book liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity. I have no words for this achievement, but I know that not since the days of my childhood, when the people in books were more real than the people one saw every day, have I found myself so moved.
