Answer 1

"Lyrical poetry is out for the time being, and something that is called rap or hip-hop is in. It is still poetry, and we can't live without it. We need language to tell us who we are, how we feel, what we're capable of — to explain the pains and glory of our existence."

~ Maya Angelou

"Poetry is music written for the human voice."

~ Maya Angelou

"The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart."

~ Maya Angelou
