We are the ones we have been waiting for
These poems of radical love, urgency, and global consciousness reach across borders to break open the silence of oppression and the taboo, liberating both body and soul.
Lively and enigmatic, Passion is June Jordan's most accomplished and animated collection. Her virtuosic, resolute words have inspired generations of readers and activists across the world, from Nobel Laureates to US Presidents.
