The world lost an angel today in Maya Angelou.  She will always be one of the true alchemists of this century, taking every shred of her extraordinarily challenged autobiography and embodying it as poetry, imagery and performance to change the world.

Her drive to create was visceral, her courage profound and her legacy, unending.

The morning wouldn’t be the same without this most indelible poem.

What great love. What the world needs forever.
