And Still I Rise
And Still I Rise is author Maya Angelou's third volume of poetry, published by Random House in 1978. It was published during one of the most productive periods in Angelou's career; she had written three autobiographies and published two other volumes of poetry up to that point. Angelou considered herself a poet and a playwright, but was best known for her seven autobiographies, especially her first," I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", although her poetry has also been successful. She began
her two previous collections, "Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie" (1971) and "Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well", along with her two volumes published afterwards, "Shaker, Why Don't You Sing?" (1983) and "I Shall Not Be Moved" (1990). Angelou's publisher placed four poems in a smaller volume, entitled "Phenomenal Woman", in 1995.
