WOW! I will be honest and admit I am embarrassed that this is the first Angelou book I have read. I am sure we have all hear or read a poem or two, but "Even the Stars Look Lonesome" was the first book of hers I have read. To express my gratitude and appreciation for her writing style, I will tell you that I purchased the book from a vendor at a festival. During some down time I began to read it and after just 8 pages I went back to the vendor and bought another Angelou book to pacify me when I finished this one. I learned very quickly how insufficient my vocabulary is, her words seem to make love to each other tenderly and then birth the most amazing mental pictures I have ever experienced. A true page turner, this book is a collection of short stories about her life experiences. The topics range from her marriages, loves, career and friendships. A truly awesome illustration of her life lessons.
