Book Description
Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”—James Baldwin From the Paperback edition.

Book Description
Prison, a time served, a glance at living behind bars from an artistic eye and a poetic voice. Describing everyday ordeals and ideals that have to be compensated for. How perspectives and perceptions change after crossing a social boundary. Prison having an 'out of sight, out of mind', or 'brushed under the carpet' ethos, do you ever really give a thought to what some go through, living a life away from the world's eyes but right in the middle of society still revolving? Probably not, until a family member or friend faces such a circumstance. I'm no ambassador for changing everyone's views. I paint a picture with poetic words so as to see how such a challenge can affect maybe the common few. No glorifications. I'm merely lending you my eyes, my ears and my soul in my little book of poetic thought and experience.
