EVEN THE STARS LOOK LONESOME

The author reads the latest in her series of autobiographies. Now in her 70s, she inspires with her view of life's later years, filled with adventure and pleasures, even romantic ones. When the poet and university professor treats the listener to song, one can easily imagine Angelou as a young nightclub singer, belting out rich- toned soulful tunes. Vocal character-izations of her dainty mother and a potential beau paint vivid pictures of the travelers she's encountered along life's journey. Angelou's masterful blend of experience, history, and philosophy urges the reader to embrace life as fully and richly as she has. J.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 02]
