About this deal

It seems that when Maya Angelou wrote this classic poem originally, it was not intended for children.

She now has a life-time appointment as Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. She published ten best selling books and numerous magazine articles earning her Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award nominations. While Bookwagon offers a wealth of classic poetry collections, such as included within Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright, this is a rare isolated poetry publication. As well as her autobiography she has written several volumes of poetry, including 'On the Pulse of the Morning' for the inauguration of President Clinton.

It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Poet Maya Angelou is, among other things, a novelist, playwright, actress, dancer, and civil rights activist. A unique book that combines the words of a renowned African-American poet laureate and the primitive, modern paintings of a young Haitian-American artist. Then again, in this version, edited by Sarah Jane Boyers and united with pictures by Jean- Michel Basquiat, we realise its direct truths perfectly.

Angelou's strong words are matched by the daring vision of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose childlike style reveals the powerful emotions and fanciful imaginings of childhood.Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. She is 5 and lovea reading and Maya Angelou is my favourite author so was a lovely ly introduction into Angelou's work. Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. What’s more, we see the cacophony of ‘ Mean old Mother Goose/ Lions on the loose‘ in Basquiat’s background image, a seeming child-like snarl.

Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned.

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. At the request of President Clinton, she wrote and delivered a poem at his 1993 presidential inauguration. From the scary thought of panthers in the park to the unsettling scene of a new classroom, fearsome images are summoned and dispelled by the power of faith in ourselves. His art is exhibited in over a dozen museums around the world, including the MoMA, the Met, and the Whitney. She was a poet, historian, author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and director.

You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot!

A television producer, collector of twentieth-century art, and mother of two, she created this, her first book, to introduce children and all readers to the best in literature and contemporary art. I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic!
