I need help finding the publication date of the poem "I Know why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou, and I am talking about the poem not the book. Thanks in advance!
The title is only Caged Bird and its from the book "Shaker, why don't you sing?" published in 1983, the title of her book came from a Paul Laurence Dunbar poem.
Celebrated poet, civil rights activist and author Maya Angelou wove poetry, advice and encouragement through her speech to Texas Woman’s University students Tuesday.
She even sang some of the poetry, including Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven.
The 83-year-old said Poe’s poem was something she envisioned Sean Combs, an American hip-hop star that goes by Diddy, performing.
In an impression of the rapper, Angelou said, “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,” tapping her foot to the beat and bobbing her head.
She said if her knees weren’t bad, she’d dance and quote Shakespeare.
Angelou told the estimated 900 attendees that she comes to institutions of higher education like TWU excited to teach.
Angelou said she once thought she was a writer who could teach, but now knows she’s a teacher who can write.
“I’m a teacher — and a good one, too,” she said with a laugh as the crowd applauded.

I recently modeled this outfit for PASSION Agency’s Cabaret Colore Show and I just couldn’t wait to blog it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit as well as the designer…Honey Bender. =) The necklace is also part of the outfit from Faster Pussycat called Velvet Elvis Dagger Necklace. I love the color combination of gold and green tones which really sets off the face and outfit. The outfit is called FASTER PUSSYCAT Velvet Elvis. Doesn’t the Faster Pussycat Velvet Elvis Pants in yellow combined with the Badass Belt shows a bit of a rebel side....
