With fascinating insights into Maya Angelou's life and creativity, and a shrewd examination of her techniques and recurring themes, Dolly A. McPherson provides us with a fresh and unusual picture of the celebrated author and her methods. She remarks, too, on Angelou's exceptional ear, her recording of the precise, vivid word and phrase, and on the warmth and humor in her autobiographical writing. The book closes with an interview between these two great friends—a marvelous epilogue to this portrait of an immensely gifted, greatly admired woman.
