The speaker of one poem by this author asks, "Does my haughtiness offend you?" after opening that poem with the concession "you may write me down in history / with your bitter, twisted lies." This author insisted in another poem that "you, created only a little lower / than the angels, have crouched too long in / the bruising darkness." This author of "Still I Rise" opened a third poem with the phrase "A Rock, A River, A Tree" and recorded that she stopped speaking for years after her mother's boyfriend raped her when she was eight. For 10 points, name this poet who read "On the Pulse of Morning" at Bill Clinton's inauguration and also wrote the autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
