Today, May 28th, 2014, one of the greatest Black writers--and one of the best poets, period--departed this earth. I did not know much about her, but I am pretty sure that among us fans of good writing are some who were affected by her work.
Requiescat in pace.
The world has felt a great loss. Hey it's been awhile since you last emailed. You okay?
I'm sorry that I haven't replied in quite a while. I've been occupied with other things. Between work, Bravely Default, and now Lightning Returns, (yes, I've only recently bought those games), I've been quite distracted.
I'll try to get my act together this upcoming week; I don't want to drop you by the wayside.
Again, sorry for the delay.
May we all still rise to her dreams for this world, as human beings; may we all, as writers, carry the torch that she lit so brightly.
I've heard her name before… ;( RIP, Maya Angelou...
