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’.

Toni Morrison
She was important in so many ways. She launched African American women writing in the United States. She was generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a real original. There is no duplicate
President Barack Obama
A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman
President Bill Clinton
The poems and stories she wrote . . . were gifts of wisdom and wit, courage and grace
Oprah Winfrey
She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace . . . She will always be the rainbow in my clouds
