His regular work was far out enough that it passed as being produced by an extra-terrestrial.

Maya Angelou.
Gave me a different aspect on racism. Wrote amazingly accessible poetry. An honest and beautiful black woman.

Oh, that's a sad one. I liked her. She was a good egg.
She came to my college when I was s student there and I got to hear her speak. I don't remember what she said, but she had this amazing presence. |

Oh just remembered a dream about you, Glatt...
Will post in the appropriate thread. Envy you majorly that you heard her speak. She was one of my heroes. I have two of her poems by heart, and more lines randomly.

Oh, the passing of Maya Angelou got by me somehow.
ETA: Here's a sad commentary on my life: I don't personally know anyone who will know who Maya Angelou was. Ima test that notion, but, I'm betting it's true. ![]()

Here is an excellent article on Maya Angelou.
In fact it is the best news article I've ever read on Yahoo.

Hard to believe. 86 seems young to me.

Oh, and...
My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself. |
