The past, with it tales of violence, rapes, lynchings and mutilations is not forgotten, neither is it used as force of blind hatred and revenge. It is absorbed and sublimated in the psyche. What is celebrated here is the endurance of a race forced to live for untold years without even the basic dignity afforded to any human being - their humanity. All my work, my life, everything I do is about survival, not just bare, awful, plodding survival, but survival with grace and faith. While one may encounter many defeats, one must not be defeated.

Angelou'nun her şiirini siyahilere uygulanan baskı penceresinden yorumlamamak gerek. Onun şiirleri son derece çeşitli felsefi temalardan besleniyor. Her şeyden evvel çok güçlü bir hümanizma şiirlerinde hissediliyor. sayfada yer alan "Geçen Zaman" başlıklı şiirine baktığınızda, siyah-beyaz arasındaki dualizmin yerini ölüm ve yaşamın aldığı garip ve gizemli bir dönüşüm dikkatinizi çekecektir. Maya Angelou, acılarla dolu hayatında, ki buraya yazmaya bile elimin varmadığı acılar, son derece harika şiirler ortaya çıkarmış. Bunlardan bazıları beni özellikle etkiledi. Onların üzerinde duracağım. bu dizelerde benim en çok dikkatimi çeken şey "dünyanın yok olmasından önce" ifadesi. Kimi eleştirmenler (örn. Bloom, Lynn Z.) bu şiirde siyahilerin yaşadığı "survival" durumun anlatılmaya çalıştığını söylüyorlar.

Oysa ben bu şiirde çok daha mistik bir hava sezinliyorum. İnsanın ölümünün kendi kıyameti olduğu düşüncesi geliyor aklıma. What I, also, like to do is read then re-read her poems to find hiding meaning in her words which there are plenty; the game of finding alternative/hidden meanings is a delight.

By the time of its publication in 1994, she had published five autobiographies, eventually going on to publish seven, and five books of poetry. She began, early in her writing career, alternating the publication of an autobiography and a volume of poetry. [1] This is the first time I’ve read an entire collection of Maya Angelou’s poetry in its entirety and I can say I was deeply moved, and her perspectives on life make me want to be a better teacher, husband and person. Her acute sense of understanding about how love comes and goes is brilliantly found in my favorite poem, Late October: “Only lovers see the fall, a signal end to endings” (Angelou 8).Maya Angelou: The Complete Poetry also features her final long-form poems, including “A Brave and Startling Truth,”“Amazing Peace,”“His Day Is Done,” and the honest and endearing Mother: Great Food, All Day Long: Cook Splendidly, Eat Smart (2010).
