Sinopsis	AND STILL I RISE 9780860687573 Edad: adultos MAYA ANGELOU Charismatic and passionate, warm and wise, American author and poet Maya Angelou was a role model and activist who recorded and celebrated the experience of being black in America. She was the first African-American woman to write and recite a poem at the inauguration of a president of that country - Bill Clinton's in 1993 - and now she will be the first to be commemorated with a coin. The Treasury Department announced that it has minted 25-cent coins in Angelou's honor, popularly known as quarters. The US Mint plans to issue 20 more coins of that value over the next four years, representing other American women who played important roles in the country's history. SYNOPSIS The classic collection of poetry from the author of I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS. 'A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman' BARACK OBAMA Maya Angelou's poetry - lyrical and dramatic, exuberant and playful - speaks of love, longing, partings; of Saturday night partying, and the smells and sounds of Southern cities; of freedom and shattered dreams. 'She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace . . . She will always be the rainbow in my clouds' OPRAH WINFREY 'She was important in so many ways. She launched African American women writing in the United States. She was generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a real original. There is no duplicate' TONI MORRISON ANGELOU MAYA Maya Angelou nació el 4 de abril de 1928 en San Luis, Misuri, con el nombre de Marguerite Annie Johnson, y falleció el 28 de mayo de 2014 en Winston-Salem, Carolina del Norte.
