Maya Angelou Poetry Collection

This collection includes more than 100 unabridged poems from three previously released Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'Fore I Die , Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well , and I Shall Not Be Moved . "On the Pulse of Morning," the Grammy-winning poem written for President Clinton's 1993 inauguration, completes the set. Angelou reads the pieces herself, making each word--sometimes fierce, sometimes soft, but always moving--even lovelier with her velvety voice. This collection is a must-have for all Maya Angelou fans. Listen to Maya Angelou read "Worker's Song." Visit our audio help page for more information. (Running 2 hours, 4 cassettes) --C.B.
