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 he***riting 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 ***anize 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 *** 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 unf***ettable vignettes of

famous people, from Billie Holiday to Malcolm X, but perhaps most

important is the story of Maya Angelou's relati***hip 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.

I know that not since the days of my childhood, when people in

books were more real than the people one saw every day, have I

found myself SO moved.

-- James Baldwin

"Full of laughter and tears, love and hate, failures and triumphs,

and above all, understanding."

-- John O. Killens

"Gather Together in My Name

"Gather Together in My Name is part of a select body of li***ture

that includes The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Claude Brown's

Manchild in the Promised land, and Ernest J. Gaines's The

Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Maya Angelou regards the world

and herself with intelligence and wit; she records the events of

her life with style and grace."

-- William McPherson, The Washington Post Book World

"Here the 'caged bird' soars, and sings in a voice as rich and

funny, passionate and mellow as any writer I know."

-- Shana Alexander -- Review
