Description
The Essential June Jordan is a collection of poems that showcase the work of a poet and activist who explored issues of gender, race, immigration, representation, and more. With its sinuous, lashing, and passionate lines, this poetry offers a powerful exploration of human life in all its complexities.
Jordan's poetry is characterized by its musicality and its ability to convey both profound anger and suffusing light. This collection allows new readers to discover the vital work of this endlessly surprising poet, while also offering a fresh perspective for those who already know her work.
A foreword by Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown adds context to Jordan's poetry, highlighting her commitment to using art, laughter, sensual pleasure, and human referentiality in her work. This collection is a valuable introduction to June Jordan's unique voice and vision.
