I like her poem "Still I Rise," but the rest is pretty shit. Just base polemic. In my opinion, though, the worst poet ever published is Benjamin Zephaniah. Every single piece of work that man has ever produced is rubbish. There's no technique whatsoever, which would be okay if the lines were any good, but they're not; I've heard rap songs with more emotional depth.
