pickThis is a beautiful collection of poems inspired and influenced by Maya Angelou's faith and love for humanity, and listening to her read them is a joy. Amazing Peace is such a gorgeous, moving poem to listen to at Christmas. (and I have to say, I wasn't expecting eulogies to Luther Vandross and Barry White.)
Today is another wonderful day for a celebration and our Litten of the Day is… @mabell !

Happy Birthday!!

pickAnother fascinating trio into the fascinating life of Maya Angelou. It opens with a brilliant portrait of an aging Billie Holliday spending days in Maya's home, moves to NY + Maya involved in the civil rights movement as well as acting + bringing up her son, before her setting off the Africa with her South African freedom fighter husband. What a life. Written poetically but so compelling a tale, you can't put it down.
Because I can‘t resist making new grids on PicCollage, here‘s my aspirational #serieslove2025 reading plan for Black History Month.
