#AuthorAMonth - February- Maya Angelou:
This poem is represented best in the incredibly beautiful tagged book. The union of artistry on behalf of the poet and the painter is glorious. Today, the attention is given to the poem, but if you are given the opportunity, do spend time with the book, the artwork of Sir Edward Burne-Jones, is breathtaking.👇🏽

Nute The poem is a sort of ode to the power of love. Love as a verb in action with the capability & skillful potential to alter all that is wrong in the world. It declares that we, creatures, who fail miserably at understanding one another become a newly created entity with intended bravery “in the flush of love‘s light.” & this single election, to allow love to be all that we are about gives us the ultimate freedom to be our fullest & best selves.👇🏽 3y

Nute Maya Angelou experienced heartbreaking hardships at a tender age, became determined to overcome the trauma of racism and sampled many occupations in her adventurous lifetime. Thank goodness there was a discovery made at some point that she should write.
Recommending her autobiographical series and her poetry.
Definitely recommending this particular book!

#JuneItsElectrifying Day 29: This illustrated anthology of some of the most romantic love poems ever written is perfect for #LoveIsAManySplendoredThing - but is not on Litsy‘s database. Another book which I referenced in my review is tagged here. I also loved how the editors managed to find the exact painting that seemed to have inspired the creation of the love poem.
