Passion e-bog

After decades out of print, Passion-one of June Jordan's most important collections-has returned to readers. Originally entitled, passion: new poems, 1977-1980, this volume holds key works including "e;Poem About My Rights,"e; "e;Poem About Police Violence,"e; "e;Free Flight,"e; and an essay by the poet, "e;For the Sake of the People's Poetry: Walt Whitman and the Rest of Us."e; June Jordan was a fierce advocate for the safety and humanity of women and Black people, and for the freedom of all people-and Barack Obama made a line from this book famous: "e;We are the ones we have been waiting for."e; With love and humor, via lyrics and rants, she calls for nothing less than radical compassion. This new edition includes a foreword by Nicole Sealey.
