URBAN BOOKS AUTHORS & WRITERS OF AMERICA

My favorite book is I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou.  I fell in love with this book and became a fan of the author/poet many years ago.  Ms. Angelou's extraordinary gift with words, language, observation, and detail blew me away the first time I read it.  I admire the author's technique in description.  I naturally bare a similar gift but nothing close to Ms. Angelou's.  For example, and only for example, instead of actually saying "It is dark now." Ms. Angelou may say somthing like, "The sun no longer presented itself to the naked eye.  It had been at least an hour before God's golden earthwarmer took a bow and introduced its brother, the full moon."  Something like that.  I love this book and I never get tired of readiing it.
