Is she the one who said she wrote “I Know Why The Dead Bird Stinks” because she liked chemistry in high school?
Her office at Wake Forest University was an answering machine hooked-up in a broom closet. She drew a full professor’s salary but rarely set foot on campus.
“‘Still I Rise’ but nothing for “He is Risen”.“
Well put. Maybe “Still I Rise” is about aborted black babies?
