Hi Christine, I'll be happy to take this one. Thanks for your continued work on these! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:28, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
As usual, I've made a few copyediting tweaks as I went; as usual for your nominations, this seems excellent so far and essentially ready to promote. Remaining quibbles below. I'll do spotchecks of the sources and a "main aspects" check tonight or tomorrow. -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:55, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

"is author and poet Maya Angelou's third volume of poetry" -- I'd suggest cutting "and poet" here; clear from the three volumes of poetry
Done.
"perhaps to capitalize on her popularity following her reading of her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993" -- it's not clear to me why Random House would select this volume of poetry for The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou  as a specific result of the inauguration reading; the "perhaps" here also makes me think this might need citation as an interpretation/inference
Hmm, this is the third of Angelou's poetry books and the first time someone's given me this feedback.  I changed to wording to make it appear, um, less "interpretative". ;)
Ha, yeah, I'm pretty sure at least one of the other reviews is from me. If I missed it last time, sorry about that. -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:32, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Was the full title of Cosmopolitan at the time Cosmopolitan Magazine? It seems like this should probably be written Cosmopolitan magazine.
Done.
"Angelou skillfully engages" -- the "skillfully" here probably needs to be more directly attributed to a speaker for NPOV reasons
I added the quotes before the word in question and after "engages".
" Neubauer and literary critic Harold Bloom" -- is it correct to attribute this to Harold Bloom here? The citation goes to Lynn Z Bloom. Bloom could be summarizing Bloom, but I thought I'd better doublecheck.
Nope, I was must missing a ref.  Thanks for the catch; I added it.
"African-American scholar " -- this phrase is slightly ambiguous as to whether she's Af-Am or studies Af-Am culture/lit. Could it simply be dropped, or shortened to "scholar"?
Shortened to "scholar".
"The first part, entitled "Touch Me, Life, Not Softly", has been called "joyful"" -- needs its own inline citation--is this from Lippmann? -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:55, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Yes, added citation.  Thanks so much for the feedback! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:19, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Okay, all changes look good. Going to do a few last checks now, but I expect I'll be passing this very shortly. -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:32, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
