DENTON, Texas -

Maya Angelou won't make an appearance at a North Texas university that had been scheduled for tomorrow.

Officials at Texas Woman's University have canceled the poet's visit, citing illness. A spokeswoman for the school didn't have details on why the 83-year-old Angelou might be ailing.

Angelou is hosting an hour long syndicated radio special on the civil rights era that will air throughout this month on about 200 public radio stations.
