Angelou, Maya (1928- ), poet Born on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, Marguerite Johnson was given the name Maya by an older brother, who had been calling her "My," or "Mine." Angelou spent much of her childhood in the care of her grandmother in rural Stamps, Arkansas. Raped at the age of eight by her mother's boyfriend, Angelou went through an extended period of muteness. Her early life is the focus of Angelou's first autobiographical work, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1970). Subsequent volumes of autobiography include Gather Together in My Name The Heart of a Woman (1981), and All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes In 1940 Angelou moved to San Francisco to be with her mother, who had by then remarried.

44. The Most Amazing Thing An Interview with maya angelou by David Frost. maya angelou Yes, yes. DF Whatwas the liberating effect of knowing it? MA David Frost. DF maya angelou. http://www.newsun.com/angelou.html

An Interview with Maya Angelou by David Frost David Frost: And one of your teachers, one of your religious teachers, said made you say, "God loves me, God loves me, God loves me," again and again, and then said, "Now try to know it." Maya Angelou: Yes, yes. DF: What was the liberating effect of knowing it? MA: David Frost. DF: Maya Angelou. MA: As the cockney say, "I come all over queer." Really. The idea that it, this creation, creator, it, love me, me not me generically, but me, Maya Angelou is almost more it is more than I can comprehend. It fills me. It enters and makes me go inflate like a balloon. Really. The most amazing thing. I can't know it too frequently. I can't know it completely. My heart might burst. My veins might boil up, and my blood might boil up in my veins. My eyes would pop out. My navel would thump. My feet would grow about six inches on either side. Really it has a physiological impact on me. And I can't again, it's something I can't explain. It's probably what people mean when they say, "I got saved last week or last year." I suppose that's what they mean. But that knowledge comes to me fresh each time, as if I never knew it before. DF: In your poem to the U.N., you said, "We, this people, on a small and lonely plant traveling through casual space, passed a lot of stars, across a way of indifferent suns to a destination where all signs tell us it is possible and imperative that we discover a brave and startling truth."

This Event In Black History 1: "ON THE PULSE OF MORNING" by Maya Angelou written: Spoken at the Presidential Inaguaration Ceremony, January 20, 1993 "ON THE PULSE OF MORNING" A Rock, A River, A Tree Hosts to species long since departed, Marked the mastodon. The dinosaur, who left dry tokens Of their sojourn here On our planet floor, Any broad alarm of their hastening doom Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages. But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully, Come, you may stand upon my Back and face your distant destiny, But seek no haven in my shadow I will give you no hiding place down here. You, created only a little lower than The angels, have crouched too long in The bruising darkness, Have lain too long Face down in ignorance Your mouths spilling words Armed for slaughter. The Rock cries out to us today, you stand on me, But do not hide your face. Across the wall of the world, A River sings a beautiful song, It says, come rest here by my side. Each of you a bordered country, Delicate and strangely made proud, Yet thrusting perpetually undersiege Your armed struggles for profit Have left collars of waste upon My shore, currents of debris upon my breast. Yet, today I call you to my riverside, If you will study war no more. Come, Clad in peace and I will sing the songs The Creator gave to me when I and the Tree and the Rock were one. Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your Brow and when you yet knew you still Knew nothing. The River sings and sings on. There is a true yearning to respond to The singing River and the wise Rock. So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew The African, the Native American, the Sioux, The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh, The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher, The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher. They all hear The speaking of the Tree. They hear the first and last of every Tree Speak to humankind today. Come to me, here beside the River. Plant yourself beside me, here beside the River. Each of you, descendant of some passed On traveller, has been paid for. You, who gave me my first name, you Pawnee, Apache, Seneca, you Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of Other seekersdesperate for gain, Starving for gold. You, the Turk, the Arab, the Swede, the German, the Eskimo, the Scot, You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare Praying for a dream. Here, root yourselves beside me. I am that Tree planted by the River, Which will not be moved I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree I am yoursyour Passages have been paid Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need For this bright morning dawning for you. History, despite its wrenching pain, Cannot be unlived, but if faced With courage, need not be lived again. Lift up your eyes upon This day breaking for you. Give birth again To the dream. Women, children, men, Take it into the palms of your hands. Mold it into the shape of your most Private need. Sculpt it into The image of your most public self. Lift up your hearts Each new hour holds new chances For new beginnings. Do not be wedded forever To fear, yoked eternally To brutishness. The horizon leans forward, Offering you space to place new steps of change. Here, on the pulse of this fine day You may have the courage To look up and out and upon me, the Rock, the River, the Tree, your country. No less to Midas than the mendicant. No less to you now than the mastodon then. Here on the pulse of this new day You may have the grace to look up and out And into your sister's eyes, and into Your brother's face, your country And say simply Very simply With hope Good morning.

Special Author Asterisks indicate multimedia Comments/Inquiries Literature Annotations Angelou, Maya Phenomenal Woman Genre Poem Keywords Body Self-Image Human Worth Sexuality Summary In four proud stanzas, the poet reveals her self-confidence, her graceful rhythm and style, and the inner strength of her femininity. Rather than fashion-magazine beauty, she exults in things like "the stride of my step" or "the swing in my waist "or "the ride of my breasts". In the final stanza she asserts, "When you see me passing / It ought to make you proud." Each stanza closes with the refrain: "I'm a woman / Phenomenally. / Phenomenal woman, / That's me." Commentary The interior standard for beauty and self-worth goes back to Whitman and others. Phenomenology of the body makes a nice philosophical dovetail with this kind of poetic sentiment. While cataloging her strengths by separate phenomena, Angelou cannot resist making clever use of another meaning of the word, "phenomenal"outstanding, excellentand strutting just a bit at her power over "the fellows." But the enduring feeling of the poem is still inner pride not related to traditional notions of beauty or attractivenessa truly enviable self-image.

Information by Abby Cottongim - BV class of 2002 Biography Born April 4, 1928 in Saint Louis, Missouri, Maya Angelou's given name was Marguerite Johnson. When she was about three years old her parents divorced and her and her brother Bailey were sent to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. Growing up in Stamps, Angelou learned what it was like to be a black girl in a world whose boundaries were set by whites. After five years of being apart from their mother the children were sent back to Saint Louis to be with her. This move eventually took a turn for the worst when Angelou was raped by her mother's boyfriend. Angelou's dysfunctional childhood spent moving back and forth between her mother and grandmother caused her to struggle with maturity. She became determined to prove she was a woman and began to rush toward maturity. Angelou soon found herself pregnant, and at the age of sixteen she delivered her son, Guy. Angelou’s highpoint of her life was guy. Since then she has risen above all of her obstacles and triumphed as a writer, and black woman. Summary Maya Angelou's novel is a classic tale of growing up black in the American South in the 1930s and 40s. Angelou learned a great deal from her grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas and the tightly knit black community there.

Maya Angelou - 1928 St. Louis By Melanie Seda and Shelly Laidley Belleville Township High School-East Belleville, Illinois Read other essays about Maya Angelou written by California student Monica Gracia and Arkansas students Ashley Batterton and Charla Tidwell I. Biography On April 4, 1928, a baby girl named Marguerite entered the world to proud parents Bailey and Vivian Baxter Johnson.

Early in her childhood, her parents divorced, and she and her brother resided in Stamps, Arkansas with their grandmother. Every now and then, they visited with their mother in St. Louis. At only seven and a half, during one of these visits, her mother's boyfriend raped her. Afraid, she finally tells her brother about the incident and, shortly after, her rapist was found dead.

Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide
