- Her Inaugural delivery will come minus the throaty glitz of
- a Barbra Streisand tune, but it will be anticipated with just
- as much fervor. Last week distinguished author and poet MAYA

- professor, earned a place in American letters with such raw,
- heartfelt accounts of life in the rural South as I Know Why the
- Caged Bird Sings. Her Inaugural poem is sure to be equally
- evocative.
