Maya Angelou (1928-2014)

Maya Angelou was one of the loveliest poets in American history. There are no shortage of remembrances of her life and work, but my absolute favorite is this interview with NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross from 1986. I heard highlights from an old episode on poets, and was lucky enough to catch the re-airing that played this afternoon. Please take a moment to listen, and appreciate the incredible musicality of Angelou in her own words.
