Maya Angelou's death prompted posts on her life and work, such as this from her Paris Review interview: "I'll read something, maybe the Psalms, maybe, again, something from Mr. Dunbar, James Weldon Johnson. And I'll remember how beautiful, how pliable the language is, how it will lend itself. If you pull it, it says, 'OK.'" More from Maria Popova, and Poynter's Roy Peter Clark on what journalists can learn from Angelou.
