Still I Rise by Maya Angelou

“Angelou’s iconic poem demonstrates the poet’s uncommon ability to offer words that inspire multitudes of readers,” said Jennifer Benka, executive director of the Academy of American Poets. “It’s also evidence of poetry’s unique ability to speak to the moment in memorable and uplifting ways. At a time when public discourse is replete with barbs, poetry reminds us that words matter.”
