By Derrick Bryson Taylor

Dr. Maya Angelou is recovering from a three-day hospital stay for an unspecified illness, reports EURweb.

As of late, the 83-year-old poet has been traveling and making several appearances across the country. She was scheduled to speak at Texas Women’s University in Denton on Tuesday but canceled, according to her agent, David LaCamera.

Although LaCamera didn’t give further details on the nature of Angelou’s illness, she’s said to be resting at her Winston-Salem, N.C. home, and is currently unable to travel.
