Description

Maya Angelou's poetry - lyrical and dramatic, exuberant and playful - speaks of love, longings, partings; of Saturday night partying and the smells and sounds of Southern cities; of freedom and shattered dreams. Of her poetry, Kirkus Reviews has written, 'It is just as much a part of her autobiography as I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Gather Together in My Name, Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas, and The Heart of a Woman'

Reviews

'It is true poetry she is writing... It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity' M.F.K Fisher 'Maya Angelou liberates and exhilarates through her magical, lyrical, mystical medium - poetry' MARY BRYCE, TRIBUNE 'The best known poet in America' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Author description

As well as her autobiography Maya Angelou has written several volumes of poetry, including ON THE PULSE OF THE MORNING for the inauguration of President Clinton. She now has a life-time appointment as Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University.
