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 “Poem About My Rights, ” “Poem About Police Violence, ” “Free Flight, ” and an essay by the poet, “For the Sake of the People’s Poetry: Walt Whitman and the Rest of Us.” 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: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” 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.
