June Jordan (b. 1936) Contributing Editor: Agnes Moreland Jackson Classroom Issues and Strategies Students of the 1960s and early 1970s (as well as today's college-age youth) thought about and acted on nonfamilial kinships, that is, relationships between individuals having agency ; groups, personhood in the community, space or turflocal/national/global; responsibilityprivate and corporate; power/powerlessness; most of the "-isms" and phobias of historical and contemporary societies worldwide. These are some of the recurring subjects in Jordan's three poems included in The Heath Anthology Moreover, hearing Jordan is crucial to appreciating and understanding the power of her poetry. Beyond urging my students to read all poetry aloud (and we read aloud in class), I stress the rich orality of poetic expression by many African-Americans (from Dunbar to Hughes and Brown , from Hayden and Walker and Brooks to Evans and Sanchez and Cortez, as well as Lorde Knight Reed Clifton , and Harper ), among whom Jordan is outstanding for the "being-spoken-now" qualities of her poems. Two of the "talking passages" (describing aptly the entire 114 lines) in "Poem about My Rights" are its opening and lines 45 to 49. Reading this poem aloud in a class need not be difficult in any college for at least two reasons: its personal, intimate, talking-directly-to-you quality and the generally acknowledged present-day awareness of the twenty-five percent probability that rape might become real to any woman in the U.S. Single voices (including those of male students) reading the poem in sequence diminish possible embarrassment over the sustained and repeated use of the words "rape," "penetrate," and "ejaculate" as reality and as metaphor. The poem's insistence upon the

June Jordan Like June By Mark Anthony Neal SeeingBlack.com Music Critic Talk about June Jordan! Click here "And I got to thinking about the moral meaning of memory [A]nd what it means to forget, what it means to fail to find and preserve the connections with the dead whose lives you, or I, want or need to honor with our own." New this month: Some of Us Did Not Die: Selected Essays of June Jordan . (Click to purchase.) Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, Jordan was given a 40% prognosis of surviving more than five years but she lived for more than a decade. While she had been a tireless advocate for the voiceless, the nameless, the faceless, and the despised for more than 30 years, she also, with her diagnosis, became an advocate for other women afflicted with the disease. The author of 28 books of poetry, fiction, and social criticism, Jordan was one of the most prolific intellectuals of her generation. But I am sure there are many, of all races, who perused newspaper accounts of her death, with no knowledge of who this woman was is. In a society that believes that inane dictums embraced by American youth like "Be Like Mike" or "I Am Tiger Woods" are evidence of a color-blind, classless, genderless, and discrimination-free America, June Jordan worked as an activist tirelessly in the very trenches that Nike, Gatorade, McDonalds, Viacom and two national political parties claim in the name of commercial products and pop slogans. We are unlikely to hear any slogans in mainstream media ever that proclaim we should "Be Like June."

Introduction by Brighde Mullins A poet who desires a larger than personal narrative and who commits to a vision that is responsive to the very world that we live in is one that is truly taking risks. The effect of reading June Jordan's work is that it makes a reader less capable of passing by, less susceptible to coercion. June Jordan is insistent. PAY ATTENTION, she says. DID YOUR TEACHERS EVER TELL YOU? she asks. CAN YOU SAY IT? She prompts. She sifts through the detritus of the daily injustices and horrors and she iterates and re-iterates that language is a site for revelation, that poetry is a site for imagined changes to begin. June Jordan has re-vitalized the task of the poet. POET not as autonomous ego, but as shaper of meanings, as active participant. The description of the shaman, the proto-poet, is "The one whose eyes are open." (I'm) "a female member of an endangered species, I am searching for relevant proof." she says. In her essays, her plays, her poems, she requires that we look at ourselves. In her collection, entitled Haruko/Love Poems , she gathers love poems, new and selected, twenty-two years worth.

June Jordan If any of us hopes to survive, s/he must meet the extremity of the American female condition with immediate and political response. The thoroughly destructive and indefensible subjugation of the majority of Americans cannot continue except at the peril of the entire body politic.

Body and soul, Black America reveals the extreme questions of contemporary life, questions of freedom and identity: How can I be who I am? Americans have begun to understand that trouble does not start somewhere on the other side of town. It seems to originate inside the absolute middle of the homemade cherry pie. As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language. As I am a poet I express what I believe, and I fight against whatever I oppose, in poetry.
