Today is Maya Angelou's birthday.  The whole show will be dedicated to her  poetry. This is an example of why I started this show. When listening to the Writer's Almanac, I would hear of someone's birthday but never hear any of their work. This thought is what led to this radio show. It is an attempt to celebrate the words of those people we remember on their birthday, or some anniversary and as a way to discover their work, that I so often have only heard about but never read much.
