Maya Angelou

Nothing to do with football obviously.

She was for me right up there with Mandela.

RIP and all that.

"I know why the caged bird sings."

Worth a read if you haven't already.

Must admit to never having heard of her until her obituary on Radio 4 this evening, in the car, on the way home.

An extremely full and interesting life, a sad loss.

Typically, only discovering someone after they've died.

HAD to read 'I know why the caged bird sings' for AS level English literature, and turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable read.
'Still I Rise' is also a fantastic, uplifting poem. RIP Maya - view external link
