maya angelou is an awsome writter. she inspires me to read more
I'm a post-master's college graduate, 65 yo black, WI ( I came to the US at the age of 11) and I am in the middle of reading, " I know Why The Cage Birds Sing." This is such a well written, touching and colorful book. What an excellent writer! I try to compare being raised in Haiti with her Southern upbringing; the clear similarities I find so far are the separate worlds between the children and the adults, and the strictness practiced by the adults. This book makes me cry and laugh at the same time. I can see why it is in the classical section. I'm saddened by the fact that I discovered Ms. Angelou's writing so late in life. Thank you Ms. Angelou!
