Читать книгу The Life of the Author: Maya Angelou - Linda Wagner-Martin - Страница 6

I am grateful to the Maya Angelou archives at both the Z. Reynolds Smith Library, Wake Forest University, and the Schomberg Collection for Research in Black Lives, New York. My thanks to Haaris Naqui, who encouraged my academic book on Angelou, and to Richard Bradford and Nicole Allen whose series of literary biographies this book represents. I am particularly grateful to the poet and photographer Eugene B. Redmond for allowing me to use his excellent photos. I owe thanks, too, to earlier Angelou critics: Mary Jane Lupton, Marcia Ann Gillespie, Rosa Johnson Butler, Richard A. Long, Tony Bolden, Selwyn R. Cudjoe, Joanne M. Braxton, Jacqueline S. Thursby, Jeffrey M. Elliot, Margaret Courtney-Clarke, Lyman B. Hagen, Dolly A. McPherson, Cheryl A. Wall, Eleanor Traylor, Claudia Tate, Wallis Tinnie, Karla Holloway, Valerie Baisnee, Carol E. Neubauer, Tavis Smiley, Mildred Mickle, and others.

The only collection of Angelou’s poetry used is The Complete Poetry (2015). All references to Maya Angelou’s autobiographies refer to The Collected Autobiographies. The Notes refer to abbreviated titles in the Bibliography.
