”I write about being a Black American woman, however, I am always talking about what it”s like to be a human being. This is how we are, what makes us laugh, and this is how we fall and how we somehow, amazingly, stand up again” Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou”s poetry – lyrical and dramatic, exuberant and playful – speaks of love, longing, partings; of Saturday night partying, and the smells and sounds of Southern cities; of freedom and shattered dreams.
”Her poetry is just as much a part of her autobiography as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and the volumes that follow.” Kirkus
”It is true poetry she is writing . . . it has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity” M. F. K. Fisher
