Searingly beautiful poems about compassion, resistance and desire by an iconic Black American activist and writer
Selected by Seán Hewitt as a Granta Book of the Year

In trailblazing poet, essayist, teacher and activist June Jordan's poems, love is a vision of revolutionary solidarity, crossing borders both emotional and literal with an outstretched hand. Haruko traces the faltering arc of a passionate love affair with another woman while Love Poems encompasses relationships with men and women, political resistance, the need for self-care in a demanding, uncaring world and apocalyptic visions of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum.

A contemporary of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde, June Jordan's spectacular poetry remains profoundly politically potent, lyrically inventive and breathtakingly romantic. First published in 1994, Haruko/ Love Poems is a vitally important modern classic.

June Jordan (1936-2002) taught at UC Berkeley and founded Poetry for the People. Her twenty-eight books include poetry, essays, fiction, and children's books. She is on the Stonewall LGBTQ+ Wall of Honour and a school in the San Francisco School District was posthumously renamed after her.
