Seslendiren:
Foreword by aja monet • Afterword by Adrienne Rich
A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper
With the publication in 1993 of Love Poems (published as Haruko / Love Poems), June Jordan became the first major Black poet to write a collection composed entirely of love poems. In the first half of the collection, Jordan wrestles with the heartbreak of her doomed relationship with a woman identified only by her first name, Haruko. In the second half, which brings together poems written over the course of twenty years, including some of her most famous, like “Poem About My Rights,” “Resolution #1,003,” “I Must Become a Menace to My Enemies,” and “Poem Number Two on Bell’s Theorem,” she explores various manifestations of love—as romance and political resistance, selfhood and motherhood, connection to and alienation from a beautiful and often cruel world. With this Penguin Classics edition, June Jordan takes her place in the American canon alongside her contemporaries Audre Lorde, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lucille Clifton, Nikki Giovanni, and bell hooks.
Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Eleştirmen yorumları
“[June Jordan] was a poet of brave and unwavering prophetic love. Every June Jordan poem is a love poem, especially the political ones. . . . This uncompromising collection . . . is lyrical and devotional, an invitation to look within as we face without.” —aja monet, from the Foreword
“June Jordan is one of the most musically and lyrically gifted poets of the late twentieth century. Her extraordinarily tonal, sensuous poems capture moments or ways of being which might make love—in many dimensions—more possible, more revolution-directed.” —Adrienne Rich, from the Afterword
“[Jordan] is among the bravest of us, the most outraged. She feels for us all. She is the universal poet.” —Alice Walker
“In poetry that looks as closely into lilac buds as into death’s mouth . . . she 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 Morrison
“A poet of the people . . . The legacy of June Jordan is a gift to us in that it allows another opportunity to think not only about what poems are, but also about what poems can do.” —Jericho Brown
