Maya Angelou Books - Poems - Autobiography - Essays
Dignity and beauty are the two words that come first to my mind when I think of the writings of Maya Angelou, African American autobiographer and poet. Many came to know her writings when she delivered her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at Clinton's 1993 inauguration. Her six-volume autobiography, her poetry and her essays are all delights to the mind and ear -- a special treat when read aloud.
