Poetry Analysis: "Preacher, Don't Send Me"

I believe “Preacher, Don’t Send Me,” by Maya Angelou is about asking the preacher to send the author where she wants to go when she dies. She does not want to go to “Hell,” or “some big ghetto in the sky” (line 3). She also does not want the preacher to promise her after life filled with gold and “milk for free” (line 20), instead she wants to be in a place filled with happiness according to her. Where “ families are loyal” (line 27) and “the music is jazz” (line 29). I believe this is an autobiographical poem of Angelou, dreaming of where she one day hopes to be after life on earth.
