<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Maya Angelou's unforgettable collection of poetry lends its name to the documentary film about her life, <i>And Still I Rise, </i>as seen on PBS's <i>American Masters</i>.</b> <p/> Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.<br> I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size<br> But when I start to tell them, <br> They think I'm telling lies.<br> I say, <br> It's in the reach of my arms, <br> The span of my hips, <br> The stride of my step, <br> The curl of my lips.<br> I'm a woman<br> Phenomenally.<br> Phenomenal woman, <br> That's me. <p/> Thus begins "Phenomenal Woman," just one of the beloved poems collected here in Maya Angelou's third book of verse. These poems are powerful, distinctive, and fresh--and, as always, full of the lifting rhythms of love and remembering. <i>And Still I Rise</i> is written from the heart, a celebration of life as only Maya Angelou has discovered it. <p/> "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."<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Maya Angelou</b> was raised in Stamps, Arkansas. In addition to her bestselling autobiographies, including <i>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</i> and <i>The Heart of a Woman, </i> she wrote numerous volumes of poetry, among them <i>Phenomenal Woman, And Still I Rise, On the Pulse of Morning, </i> and <i>Mother</i>. Maya Angelou died in 2014.
