   Extractions: There aren't any streets or postal holidays named for June Jordan, but she's cherished by and collaborated with her own share of landmarks: she has planned a new Harlem with R. Buckminster Fuller, sipped coffee with Malcolm X, gotten teaching advice from Toni Cade Bambara, co-starred in a film with Angela Davis, and written an opera with John Adams and Peter Sellars. But no June Jordan Day. Yet. If you're not yet familiar with June Jordan, award-winning author of no less than two dozen books, one of America's most extensively anthologized and prolific living poets, and one of the twentieth century's most critical activists and teachers, now is a good time to get acquainted. This month marks the publication of her twenty-fourth book, Kissing God Goodbye: New Poems 1991-1996, with a collection of political essays and a memoir soon to follow. Hers is a visionary voice, a trenchant, compassionate, and often humorous guide to the last years of the millenium. Kissing God Goodbye speaks eloquently of what seem to be the twin preoccupations of an unusually generous, clear-sighted wordsmith: responsiveness to the world in which we live, and responsibility to each other as human beings. June Jordan is a poet for whom political conviction exists in the same universe of moral effort as love (erotic, familial, and humanistic love. The collection places explicitly, intensely political works, shoulder-to-shoulder with a cycle of powerful, affecting poems that address love and passion as their thematic centerpieces.

Who Look at Me June Jordan Photo credits Click to go to: Biography - Criticism Selected Bibliography Related Links BIOGRAPHY - CRITICISM June Jordan was born on July 9, 1936 in Harlem, New York, to Granville and Mildred Jordan, Jamaican natives. Her father was a night shift postal worker and her mother was a nurse. When Jordan was five, the family moved to the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn. During her high school years, Jordan was "completely immersed in a white universe" while a student at Milwood High School and Northfield School for girls in Massachusetts. At Northfield, Jordan "discovered her poetic voice." Jordan's home situation was a source of conflict and anguish because of her father's physical abuse and her mother's denial. This environment resulted in Jordan's writing extensively about her parents and their positive and negative influences.

   Extractions: June Jordan was born in Harlem in 1938, the only child of working class Jamaican parents. Growing up in an urban ghetto environment, she was influenced by her family's sense of heritage. Jordan received most of her education in a predominantly-white environment. Spending one year at a girls' preparatory school in Massachusetts, Jordan learned to love the literature she was exposed to, loving first the British Romantics . The appreciation for African American, women's and global literatures which is so evident in her own literary production came later. The deepest influences on Jordan's development as an intellectual and as a writer were her parents. Exposed from an early age to the classics of the Bible, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, and Paul Laurence Dunbar , she began writing poetry at age seven. Her mother's dreams of becoming an artist, and her suicide before realizing those dreams, motivated Jordan's feminist writing and action. Her mother was Jordan's most significant example in the history of neglected lives and dreams of African American women, which she has dedicated herself to transforming. One of the most political and personal battles of her life was that of her interracial marriage while an undergraduate at Barnard College in 1955. Her marriage and the birth of their son coincided with her involvement in the first stirrings of the Civil Rights Movement. When she met

    Extractions: A B C D ... Scholars Index Haruko/Love Poems : Love Poems by June Jordan Adrienne Cecile Rich Sara Miles (Editor) Never before has there been a single volume of love poetry so extraordinary in range. In Haruko/Love Poems, June Jordan expands and redefines the traditional idea of the love poem. In the first half of this volume, Jordan writes to Haruko in the style of the Neruda love poems. Taking from the haiku its purity and economy, but giving these poems a vision that is Jordan's own, the Haruko poems are at once urgent, passionate, and complex. Following the Haruko poems is a selection by Adrienne Rich and Sara Miles for 20 years of love poems that bear witness to the depth and breadth of Jordan's poetic brilliance. Midwest Book Review "June Jordan makes us think of Akhmatova, of Neruda. She is among the bravest, the most outraged. She is the universal poet."
