Media Reviews
"Maya Angelou writes like a song, and like the truth...her style has both ripened and solidified...more like poetry." -- Annie Gottlieb
"Angelou's prose is sculpted, concise, rich with flavor and surprise, exuding a natural confidence and command...Her laughter at herself is witty, intelligent, and a good preventative against maudlin confession...[but] the book is a comedy of self-deception." -- Lynn Sukenick
"The events of her life make interesting if somewhat lurid reading...And though the author is never mawkishly sentimental, she shows herself to have been, like most of us, silly...Yet she is proud. She stumbles, falls, but like the phoenix, rises renewed and wholly myth." -- Frank Lamont Philips

The Heart of a Woman
by Maya Angelou
In The Heart of a Woman Maya Angelou leaves California with her son, Guy, to go to New York. There she enters the society and world of black artists and writers. Not since her childhood has she lived in an almost black environment, and she is surprised at the obsession her new friends have with the white world around them. She stays for a while with John and Grace Killens and begins to read her writing at the Harlem Writers Guild. She continues to sing, most notably at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, but more and more she begins to take part in the struggle of black Americans for their rightful place in the world. She helps organize a benefit cabaret for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and then is appointed Martin Luther Kings Northern Coordinator. Shortly after that, through her friend Abbey Lincoln, she takes one of the lead parts in Genet's The Blacks (it was a remarkable cast, including Godfrey Cambridge, Roscoe Lee Brown, James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson, Raymond St. Jacques, and Lou Gossett), and even writes music for the production. In the meantime her personal life has taken a tempestuous turn. She has left the New York bail bondsman she was intending to marry and has fallen in love with a South African freedom fighter named Vusumzi Make, who sweeps her off her feet and eventually takes her to London and then to Cairo, where, as her marriage begins to break up, she becomes the first female editor of the English-language magazine. The Heart of a Woman is filled with unforgettable vignettes of famous people, from Billie Holiday to Malcolm X, but perhaps most important is the story of Maya Angelou's relationship with her son. Because this book chronicles, finally, the joys and the burdens of a black mother in America and how the son she had cherished so intensely and worked for so devotedly finally grows to be a man.

Gather Together in My Name
Angelou, Maya
New York: Random House, 1974. [1974]. Very Good in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full orange cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt; the front panel in metallic red. Octavo. 214pps. There is a lean to the spine and faint touches of foxing to the endpapers (only). Otherwise clean, bright, and soundly bound. The price-clipped dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has a faintly sunfaded spine and touches of crinkling at the extremities. "...As this book opens, Maya Angelou, still in her teens, has given birth to a son. The time is the end of World War II and there is a sense of optimism everywhere -- a feeling of new beginnings -- particularly for black people. But the next few years are difficult ones as she tries to find a place in the world for herself and her child. Not only is she unable to find a decent job, but her relatives can't or are unwilling to help with her son. She becomes a short-order cook -- and falls in love, a brief idealistic affair which makes her yearn even more for a relationship which could bring affection and security.
Instead, she goes from job to job -- and from man to man. She works in stores and restaurants, tries to join the Army, even becomes a night-club dancer. She tries to go home again, too -- back to Stamps, Arkansas, where she had grown up with her remarkable grandmother. But she soon discovers that she is no longer part of that world any more -- or of any world she really wanted..."
