Maya Angelu

Maya Angelu, the official poet lauriet for the United States, is a famous African-American author who is most noted for her series of autobiographies.

  
Autobiographical Books: "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"
			"Gather Together in My Name"
			"Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like 
				Christmas"
			"The Heart of a Woman"
			"All God's Children Need Travelin' Shoes."

Other works include: "Poems" - a collection of some of her most famous poems
		     "Wouldn't Take Nothin' for My Journey Now" -  essays on
				various subjects
		     "On the Pulse of Morning" - a poem composed especially
				for the Inauguration of President Bill Clinton. 



My Recomendation:  All of Maya Angelu's autographical books are excellent
		   reading.  I would recomend them to anyone who loves fiction 
		   or non-fiction.  Her story is presented in a way to make 
		   you forget that it is non-fiction!
