This study argues that the self-image depicted by African-American poet, writer and autobiographer Maya Angelou (1928 - 2014) is inclusive and collective. It represents Angelou’s own ”self” and it includes any ”other” as well. This thesis will discuss the poetic strategies employed by the poet, as a woman, as an African-American individual, and as a human being. These are the three spheres, which are aesthetically integrated into Angelou’s works. In so doing, Angelou almost removes the traditional boundaries set between these spheres. Angelou’s work represents and goes beyond conventional definitions of the “self’ and the “other,” “man” and “woman,” the “personal” and the “communal,” “truth” and “fiction.” This does not mean that Angelou denies individual differences.
