Poet Angelou (4)
I believe the answer is:
maya
'poet angelou' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for maya that I've seen before include "Old C. American people; world as illusion" , "People of Mexico and central America" , "People of Yucatan" , "Member of ancient civilization" , "Central Amer. people" .)
