We here at DK have ripped plenty on Erick son of Erick, for perfectly valid reasons, but I want to give credit where credit is due. He wrote a lovely eulogy which showed how deeply her poetry affected him:
I am pretty sure that Maya Angelou and I would disagree on much politically, but I’d stand still on a hot bed of coals to hear her tell me she disagreed. I loved her mind and I loved her voice.

Her writings helped me connect to others, other times, and issues I have had difficulty relating to.
