Sad. What a force of nature she was.

R.I.P., Toni Morrison

Both Morrison's and Maya Angelou's works and strength had a profound affect on me and while I am saddened that they are gone, I'm consoled that their legacy are tomes filled with richness of spirit and triumph over adversity.

Matata, I add Zora Neale Hurston to that list too. So sad.

HI,

I am truly sorry that this icon of a literary talent has left us. The book, The Bluest Eye, is a masterpiece for me. I have been looking for a first edition for a while. It had such an emotional impact on me, I can't tell you.
