Maya Angelou started writing in 1968 after Martin Luther kings assassination by the encouragement of her friend James Baldwin..
He helped her write the book I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou started to write poems after a women down the street from Maya's grandmother's house asked her to read books and recite the books in a poem. When she moved back to Stamps, Arkansas with her grandmother, a woman down the street, named Mrs.Flowers, tried to get her to talk, Maya wouldn't talk. So, Mrs.Flowers gave Maya some books and asked her to come back the next day to recite the books in a poem. Maya came back the next day with her poems and told Mrs. Flowers that she didn't really understand the books but she still did the assignment anyways. From then own, Maya started writing and reciting her own poems.
She started writing poetry when she was 12 and just started a new poetry class in a new school.
A lot of Angelou's writing was inspired by her struggles, and going through racial discrimination growing up.
Maya Angelou started writing at a young age, around 9 years old. She began to explore poetry and literature as a form of self-expression during a challenging period in her childhood.
