I RISE COLLECTION

The I Rise collection is inspired by the Beautiful poet Maya Angelou. And Still I Rise consists of 32 poems, divided into three parts.

​

The first part, entitled "Touch Me, Life, Not Softly", has been called "joyful" and affirms the poet's strength as a woman and as a lover.

Part Two, "Traveling", focus on the hardships, such as drug addiction, child abuse, inner-city life, and conditions in the Old South, that the author and others have experienced.

Part Three, "And Still I Rise", which gets its name from the volume's title poem, reiterates the themes in Part One and emphasizes the strength.
