Have you ever read anything of hers that you weren't forced to read by someone else, such as a teacher in high school?
I haven't.
Yeah, you can call me a troglodyte for that if you wish. I'm the guy with the collective works of Edgar Allen Poe on his shelf, next to Robert Heinlein and the Federalist Papers. But I never once ever felt the urge to read an entire book of Angelou's poetry There was no there there, if you get my drift.
