Collected here are blazing examples of poetry as activism, stanzas that speak truth to power and speak out against violence against women and police brutality. But Jordan also speaks on the significance of hope, mixing, as Brown puts it, 'the doom and devastation made mundane through media with the hard decision to love anyway.'"âO, The Oprah Magazine "A selection of poems published between 1971 and 2001, this posthumous volume reflects Jordan's view of poetry as 'a political action' that can 'build a revolution.' Her own work is filled with love and delight as well as revenge and justice."âNew York Times Book Review, "Editor's Choice" The Essential June Jordan honors the enduring legacy of a poet fiercely dedicated to building a better world. In this definitive volume, introduced by Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown, June Jordan's generous body of poetry is distilled and curated to represent the very best of her works. Written over the span of several decadesâfrom Some Changes in 1971 to Last Poems in 2001âJordan's poems are at once of their era and tragically current, with subject matter including racist police brutality, violence against women, and the opportunity for global solidarity amongst people who are marginalized or outside of the norm. In these poems of great immediacy and radical kindness, humor and embodied candor, readers will (re)discover a voice that has inspired generations of contemporary poets to write their truths. June Jordan is a powerful voice of the time-honored movement for justice, a poet for the ages. Introduced by Jericho Brown, winner of the 2020 Pulitzer prize in poetry. Codice articolo 200515

June Jordan is a powerful voice of the time-honored movement for justice, a poet for the ages. Introduced by Jericho Brown, winner of the 2020 Pulitzer prize in poetry.ReviewWith the publication of her collected poems, one can survey the sheer scope of a woman who merged personal and political levels of expression with unyielding conviction.-San Francisco ChronicleJordan brings to life people, places, things, and books that nourished her mind and character.-Los Angeles TimesThough best known as a poet, she wore many other hats. All of her identities were rooted in a passion for social justice-accompanied by the belief that the powerless could eventually prevail In the words of this volumes title, her activities were directed by desire-in defense of truth and justice. -The Washington PostSkeptical, angry, and sick of unexamined beliefs and hypocrisy, Jordan writes warrior poems: muscled, coiled, and unerringly accurate.- Booklist[Jordans poems are] so immediate and vibrant in their effect that they seem to be happening right there on the page.- Kenyon ReviewThe energy and seriousness of these poems are impressive and, like the essays, they are the work of a writer of integrity and will.-The New York TimesShe has comforted, explained, described, wrestled with, taught and made us laugh out loud before we wept. I am talking about a span of forty years of tireless activism coupled with and fueled by flawless art.-Toni MorrisonAbout the AuthorJericho Brown is the winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in poetry for his book The Tradition.
