A stroke in 2004 left playwright, poet and novelist Ntozake Shange, 63, unable to read and write, but she was determined to get back to the book she had started 15 years ago. "I couldn't recognize words," she says. "Maya Angelou was kind enough to send me children's books." That novel, Some Sing, Some Cry, hit shelves this fall, and this weekend a big-screen version of her 1975 play For Colored Girls, directed by Tyler Perry, hits theaters.
