The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou is author and poet Maya Angelou's collection of poetry, originally published by Random House in 1994. It is the first collection of her poetry published after she read her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993. It contains her previous five books of poetry, published between 1971 and 1990. Angelou's prose works have been more successful than her poetry, which has received little serious attention by critics.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Maya Angelou, born April 4, 1928 as Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis, was raised in the perilously dangerous times of segregated Arkansas. Dr. Angelous is globally respected and admired for her poetry, role as a historian, loved author, impeccable actress, playwright, African American civil-rights activist, producer and director. Her lectures throughout the USA and in foreign countries are spellbinding. I heard her once in a ceremony to remember ERic Butterworth in New York City and will never forget her resonating voice and the profound simplicity of the intricate human images she manifested by way of a poem whose linguistic rhythm was key in contributing to a sense of vitality and initiative and progress that rises and is never apathetic. In 1981, she became a Reynolds professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. She has authored and published a total of ten best selling books and many magazine articles earning her coveted Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award nominations. President William Jefferson Clinton asked her to write and deliver a poem at his January 1993 presidential inauguration.
