Maya Angelou touched the hearts and souls of millions through her powerful words and civil rights activism. Her honest, unvarnished approach to life created a beautiful weight in her writing that continues to inspire. This is the ultimate version of her works and the perfect literary gift for anyone who admires this iconic author.
In a special collaboration, our design studio partnered with Denver-based artist Detour (Thomas Evans) to create these exclusive custom book jackets. Juniper Books’ custom jackets feature an original painting of Angelou by Detour (Thomas Evans) – a Denver-based artist. Founder Thatcher Wine had seen the street murals and iconic portraits Evans painted around the RiNo neighborhood of Denver, including ones of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and Tupac Shakur, and immediately knew he wanted to collaborate with him for our Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou sets. Learn more about this design and our collaboration with the artist, Detour, on our blog!
Each book in this curated collection is a hardcover edition published by Random House and Modern Library.
