description: Maya Angelou's poetry - lyrical and dramatic exuberant and playful - speaks of love longing partings; of Saturday night partying and the smells and sounds of Southern cities; of freedom and shattered dreams. 'The caged bird sings/ with a fearful trill/ of things unknown/ but longed for still/ and his tune is heard/ on the distant hill/ for the caged bird/ sings of freedom.'
