Title Details
Description
A SECOND LOOK at CREATIVITY series, Bill Moyers travels with Maya Angelou, author of memoirs I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, and WOULDN'T TAKE NOTHING FROM MY JOURNEY, on a visit to her childhood home in Stamps, Arkansas. “I was terribly hurt in this town,” Angelou tells Moyers, “and vastly loved.” She recalls her rapturous discovery of Shakespeare and the power poetry provided to deal with the traumas of her earlier years. She speaks to a hushed church congregation and a diverse elementary school class; she shares memories with long-lost friends and discusses family history with a wizened acquaintance of her grandmother. Viewers gain a sense of the relationship between Angelou’s origins, her creative process, and her prolific output.
