New York, Random House, 1993. Original folding wrappers. (32) p. Very fine. This long poem was recited by Angelou during Bill Clinton's inauguration as president. Inserted are some handwritten notes for her Dutch friend Huib van Krimpen by Carole Lowenstein, who had made the typography of the booklet: 'I had to have this design approved by an enormous "civilian review board". A very painful process. Too many cooks.'.
ANGELOU, Maya. On the Pulse of Morning. New York: Random House. 1993. First Hardcover Edition. 16mo. 16 pages. Original blue cloth boards and gilt text on spine. Original grey and blue dust jacket. This original poem was read at U.S. President Bill Clinton's first inauguration on the 20th of January 1993 by Angelou. This marked her as the first woman and African American to read a poem at a presidential inauguration, as well as the second poet. The post Civil Rights poem's themes are that of reconciliation, inclusivity, and a push for progress. This symbolism mirrored Clinton's speech as he discussed unity despite the country's vast diversity. Angelou was already a renowned autobiographer at the time but her poem at Clinton's inauguration broadened her audience and reach as a poet. After this poem went to print, the sales of her works increased by 1200% compared to the previous year. The audio recording of the poem won Angelou the "Best Spoken Word" Grammy Award in 1994. Some minor wear to dust jacket with a small tear to the front. Not price clipped. Text and pages are clean. Overall very good condition.

First Edition Signed
First edition of the poem that Maya Angelou read at the Inauguration of William Jefferson Clinton on January 20, 1993. Small octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "____ ____ Joy Maya Angelou." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. "On the Pulse of Morning" is a poem by writer and poet Maya Angelou that she read at the first inauguration of President Bill Clinton on January 20, 1993. With her public recitation, Angelou became the second poet in history to read a poem at a presidential inauguration, and the first African American and woman. (Robert Frost was the first inaugural poet, at the 1961 inauguration of John F. Kennedy.) Angelou's audio recording of the poem won the 1994 Grammy Award in the "Best Spoken Word" category, resulting in more fame and recognition for her previous works, and broadening her appeal. The poem's themes are change, inclusion, responsibility, and role of both the President and the citizenry in establishing economic security. Its symbols, references to contemporary issues, and personification of nature has inspired critics to compare "On the Pulse of Morning" with Frost's inaugural poem and with Clinton's inaugural address. It has been called Angelou's "autobiographical poem", and has received mixed reviews. The press praised Clinton's choice of Angelou as inaugural poet, and her "representiveness" of the American people and its president. Critic Mary Jane Lupton said that "Angelou's ultimate greatness will be attributed" to the poem, and that Angelou's "theatrical" performance of it, using skills she learned as an actor and speaker, marked a return to the African-American oral tradition of speakers such as Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.
