Her family said in a statement that the author had had a short illness. Morrison is best known for her works depicting African American life, with her 1987 novel "Beloved" winning the Pulitzer Prize for fiction the following year. Before her career as an author, she worked as an editor at Random House in New York.<br />

As I grab a pen and write away.<br />
The emotions linger about,<br />
Pushing me to set it free.<br />
It shall be set free in the words that I write.<br />
It shall be set free in the feelings that I express.<br />
It shall be set free, just by knowing it is mine.<br />
My own thoughts,<br />
My own words,<br />
My own feelings --<br />
That in itself is poetry,<br />
Whether it is liked by others or not;<br />
I know this to be true,<br />
That as long as it is dear to my heart,<br />
It's as special as can be,<br />
And no one can deny that it is poetry!<br />
