2. Maya Angelou is one of the most accomplished Women of all time, her poetry is
fueled by expressionism and visual strength.
3. Maya Angelou used her expression to connect with people of all walks of life
4. In some of her later writings, such as, “Phenomenal Woman”, she portrays growing pains that
have now come into adult pains. She uses her expressive words in this poem to truly describe a
“phenomenal woman”.
5. To really show how this amazing author used her expressive words in her poetry to really
show the truth of something, was when she wrote a poem for former President Bill Clinton’s
inauguration. She wrote for days on end, utilizing every creative and imaginary muscle she
had to portray the perfect story in her poem.
6. To say that Maya Angelou is one of the most accomplished writers of poetry of our time is an
understatement. Her words have breathed life into those less fortunate from all creeds and
backgrounds. I believe anyone can put words on a paper and make them rhyme. What Maya
does is make her work come alive.
7. Maya Angelou’s poetry makes people human again. Her poetry is haunting and beautiful. Her
work will last through the ages. She has inspired presidents, scholars, and most of all, the
ordinary to be extraordinary. Through her work, we can all learn something about ourselves,
how we got there, and where we are going.
