Even The Stars Look Lonesome by Maya Angelou
There is no-one quite like Maya Angelou. Poet to the president, champion of the people, best-selling autobiographer, her experiences as dancer, singer, waitress, activist, director, teacher, wife and mother, have made her one of the few people truly qualified to share her lessons of a lifetime. With her customary courage and humour - and always with style and grace - she reflects on the people and places she has known. She talks about Africa and ageing, she gives us a profile of her great friend and 'daughter' Oprah Winfrey, she sings the praises of sensuality. But here too are her thoughts on the end of a much-wanted marriage, confessions of rage and the importance of solitude. EVEN THE STARS LOOK LONESOME is the work of a wonderful woman who is not afraid to admit to the mistakes and vulnerabilities that make us human. 'Impressive, charismatic, my heroine' Diane Abbott, MP
'These essays have an easy strength.. their impact forceful' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'America's unofficial Poet Laureate waxes lyrical' COSMOPOLITAN 'The best known poet in America' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Simple language laced with colours and sensual imagery. There is honesty, too' DAILY TELEGRAPH
