| We're On: A June Jordan Reader |
We’re On: A June Jordan Reader, June Jordan, ed: Christoph Keller and Jan Heller Levi.
In my stocking this year, I’m hoping to get We’re On: A June Jordan Reader (Alice James Books 2017). I love Jordan’s poetry—her grittiness, her advocacy for racial justice and for sexual freedom, her plain spokenness. As a bi poet, I consider her one of my foremothers and feel empowered by her explicit linking of bisexuality and freedom. Jordan was extremely prolific, publishing over 20 books in her lifetime, so We’re On doesn’t include all of her work. But 500 pages of poetry, prose, and letters will get me well on my way to becoming more intimate with Jordan’s work and poetics.
