Maya Angleou is an intelligent African American woman who is famous for poetry and active participation in the segregation movement in the 60's. She is also known for her supreme skill with the poetic rhythm. Her style is renowned for what might be called its "Black pride" and feminist feistiness, which adds an edge of strength and clarity to her best works. Her work on rhythm was partly inspired by her listening to the music of the Blues, and some of her music imitate the rhythm of their songs. Her skill with rhythm is extremely high and she can create poetry of great dynamism through manipulation and subtle changes to the rhythm contributing to the poem (eg "I've got the chickens to feed".) Her works are numerous, but her greatest is the compilation of her journals/diaries which is in one big book called 'I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings' and her poem with the same.
