USPS honors beloved poet with stamp and big mistake

[britwrit]

From the Guardian:

The US postal service on Tuesday is unveiling a new stamp to honor one of the country’s mot celebrated writers – but the government agency may have made a basic editing error.

The new forever stamp features an oil painting of Maya Angelou, alongside the quote: “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”

But on Monday, another author took credit for the line.
