"There's No Place to Go But Up" Maya Angelou in Conversation with bell hooks Probably the best part of my job as editor of the Shambhala Sun is getting to meet some truly wise people and to listen in on their remarkable conversations. Here is a heart-to-heart, mind-to-mind exchange between two people, both important African-American women writers, who care and think deeply about life. I must confess I knew little of Maya Angelou until we began to prepare for this interview. I had missed her famed inaugural reading that moved so many; I had not read any of her best-selling writings. I discovered a writer of well-crafted simplicity, and a person who, after a hard, varied and fascinating life, has come to a profound sense of responsibility. She is a true elder of our society, a teacher bringing a helpful, positive message to millions. bell hooks is a kind friend to the Shambhala Sun, and I only become more and more impressed with her passionate thought and writing. bell is someone who shows that the true life of the mind is not one of disinterested speculation but one of questioning that consumes the whole person, full of emotion, often painful. Listen to two people who know in their bones that life truly matters. Maya Angelou: Good morning, bell. How are you?

Maya Angelou See related story(s): Inspirational Reading Tricia Ireland Staff Writer -Wednesday, March 1, 1995 Last year I went to see Maya Angelou speak in Oakland. In a low voice she wove for her audience a night of magic with words of poetry, wisdom and insight. A year before I had listened along with the entire country to Maya Angelou read her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning," at President Clinton's 1993 inauguration. But it wasn't until I heard she was coming to Chico that I actually set out to read Maya Angelou's poems. I found that her poetry is much like her prose beautiful, sad and strong. "I Shall Not Be Moved" Random House, 1990 "I Shall Not Be Moved" is a book of poems which relates to the issues of contention, pain, love, loss and survival. The narrators vary, bringing out images we associate with the struggle of being black, being a woman and being human. In her poem, "Human Family," Angelou says, "We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike." Titles of these poems include, "Equality," and "These Yet to be United States." This collection of poetry is honest and moving. It accepts the pain of humanity as natural, and speaks with a hopeful voice for a loss of ignorance.
