http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0226/davis.php

Extractions: he loss of June Jordan is a great onea loss for the legions who took up writing poems because she inspired; a loss for friends she held close; a loss for American literature, which did not give her her due; and a loss for countless activists who took courage from the bottomless pit of determination that was June. I first heard of June when her first book came out while I was at Barnard College. I was told that Jordan was among the few but extraordinary black Barnard women, like Zora Neale Hurston. I checked her out. I personally owe her for telling me how to look at my own life's metaphors and improve more than poetry, and to "get a bigger wall to write on" when pieces of a novel were dressed up as poems. June was always clear-eyed and impassioned, tough-minded yet quick to enjoy the persistent absurdities of life with a soft nervous giggle and schoolgirl smile.

Extractions: Boulder, Colorado, October 11, 2000 June Jordan is assistant professor of African American studies at the University of California at Berkeley. She also directs the Poetry for the People program. She writes for The Progressive magazine. She's an award-winning poet and essayist. She has numerous books, including Technical Difficulties Naming Our Destiny Affirmative Acts and Haruko/Love Poems . Her latest work is Soldier , a memoir of her childhood. Soldier . What a curious title. Is this about some military activity that you've been hiding from the public? It's about the military activity of my father raising me to be his son. He was an immigrant from Jamaica. He actually came from Panama. My mother was from Jamaica. You grew up in Harlem and Bedford Stuyvesant in a kind of bicultural home. Definitely bicultural and definitely the home of immigrants to this country, which means that my parents, especially my father, arrived and stayed here with both the highest possible expectations of this country, of democracy as he thought of it and of his only child that he was raising to be a successful person in the world. He probably would have liked me to grow up to be a successful white man. You were his helper, his sidekick.

Extractions: We do not play. Ninety percent, or more, of us voted for Gore, nationwide. "I would have been amazed if we'd voted any differently!" the distinguished political scientist Charles Henry exclaims. He's chair of African American Studies at U.C.–Berkeley, and he speaks without hesitation: "As an electorate, we are very sophisticated." And, rapid-fire, he cites several instances when black folks shifted our votes to whatever column held the most for us, on a programmatic level. "Besides," he amplifies, "per income grouping, we weigh in more active than white Americans: more aware of the differences among candidates, more attuned to the content of the choice, and more likely, through daily conversations, and, even, literal organizing efforts, to keep political matters front and center." He's talking with me as readily as, just an hour before, Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison answered my call. I'd rung her up and asked, "What do you think of this mess? This stolen election?"

Extractions: (The Book of Jonah, 4:4) dedicated to Stephanie Yan Into that infamous Tuesday inferno of fire and structural collapse, a humbling number of men and women fell to a horrifying death. And now the rest of us remain, stricken by fear, stricken by grief. We have become a wilderness of jeopardized loved ones, and terrifying strangers. I am an American. I listen to our leaders calling for "the eradication of evil," and I am wondering, who among us is without evil? What nation, what people, what stretch of my own personal history is good without blemish, without blame, without crimes of inertia, at least? Was our firebombing of Dresden a terrorist attack? Or Hiroshima? Or the bombing of Beirut? Or our bombing of Baghdad? Is there anything for which we, as a nation, need to atone? Is there anyone I have not recognized as equal to myself? What will help? I am an American. What will comfort so many other Americans, so suddenly bereaved? And how shall we arrange for safety, anywhere? I am an American.

http://college.hmco.com/english/heath/syllabuild/iguide/jordan.html

Extractions: Agnes Moreland Jackson 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

Extractions: A campus memorial service is tentatively scheduled for September, said Charles Henry, professor and chair of UC Berkeley's African American Studies. There will be no formal funeral service, he said. Jordan became one of the most published African American writers, known for reviving black English as a medium of black literature. She published dozens of books of poetry, librettos and operas, children's books, a screenplay, and gutsy and eloquent columns about political and personal causes in "The Progressive" and other publications.

Extractions: June Jordan, Ruth Yarrow Poems to Rebuild Kosovo Think of it as the Third World War: bitter explosion of Balkan feud, ethnic cleansing as political stance, international interloping and global realignment played out on human face (Russian troops holding down the Pristina airport, China only now negotiating with the US). Only, its your backyard, your parents face, your childrens graves. The war in Kosovo is daily life. New poems by June Jordan and Ruth Yarrow bring the war home to all of us here in 1999. This is poetrys job. If you are moved, you may write a poem. You may write your Congressional reps. About Poetry urges you to write the American Friends Service Committee (address at bottom) and engage with this part of the war activate, rebuild, renew.

Extractions: Three great poets, from three distinct parts of the US poetry landscape, passed in spring of 2002. June Jordan, Kenneth Koch, Philip Whalen had all been sick, their deaths predictable but for them to die within a two-week period leaves a grieving heart, a gaping hole. June Jordan (1936) spoke at commencement at UC Berkeley just a few weeks before she died, slowly mounting the podium on crutches. She had battled breast cancer for years. Jordan was a radical political activist poet with a wicked sense of humor. Constantly pulling the string on rhetoric, homing in on her own foibles, she collapsed overt political issues into the arms of her lover almost always female. She was a sly, sexy reader, demanding and welcoming simultaneously. At Berkeley she created Poetry for the People, a course in activist poetry that spawned generations of working poets, an extraordinary antidote to the MFA workshops. The book of the same name is a Must Have, and is used in many young peoples courses, especially at

June Jordan Reads At The Writers House

http://www.english.upenn.edu/~wh/news/jjordan.html

Extractions: It was only one day after Penn's annual party weekend and more than 100 people were sitting quietly, listening to poetry. This was no ordinary poetry reading. This was June Jordan eminent poet, novelist, essayist and political activist. Last Monday, the Kelly Writers House overflowed with faculty, students and members of the community to hear Jordan read old, new and soon-to-be-published poems as well as an excerpt from her memoir, Soldier: A Poet's Childhood. "It is so exciting, as a woman, as a student of literature, as a young person who is committed to social justice, to hear the voice of June Jordan," said Dari Yudkoff, a College junior and member of the Writers House Fellows course, which brought Jordan to Penn in conjunction with the Writers House Fellows program. "Literature and Social Change" was the theme of this year's Writers House Fellows program, for which Jordan was the final visitor. Earlier this semester, playwright Tony Kushner and playwright and author David Sedaris spoke on campus. Jordan captivated the standing room-only crowd for about an hour and a half as she vacillated between humor and horror, discussing topics ranging from the idiocy of computers and the fickleness of relationships to ethnic cleansing, racism and rape.

Extractions: The role of the American writer in 1981 By E. Ethelbert Miller The American Writers Congress, held in New York in October, 1981, was the birthplace of our National Writers Union. As a member of the program committee, I had recommended June Jordan as a speaker. Poet, essayist, feminist, African-American and bisexual, June was, most of all, a person of integrity: hers was a unique, progressive voice. This summer, June died after a long battle with cancer. What separated June Jordan from other American writers was her passion and politics. Even among African-American writers, June's politics stood out. She was progressive and maybe it's not a coincidence that she wrote a column for The Progressive In October 1981, when June Jordan addressed the American Writers Congress, her opening remarks were not about poetry or publishing. They were about human life and the policies of New York Mayor Ed Koch. Just before the Congress, three people had died in unheated buildings owned by the city of New York.

Help June Jordan, who has died aged 65, after suffering from breast cancer for several years, defied all pigeonholes. Poet, essayist, journalist, dramatist, academic, cultural and political activist - she was all these things, by turn and simultaneously, but above all, she was an inspirational teacher, through words and actions, and a supremely principled person. Among African-American writers, she was undoubtedly one of the most widely published, the author of well over two dozen books of non-fiction, poetry, fiction, drama and children's writing. She emerged onto the political and literary scene in the late 1960s, when the movements demanding attention were for civil rights and women's liberation, and anti-war.
