After decades out of print, Passion--one of June Jordan's most important collections--has returned to readers. Originally entitled, passion: new poems, 1977-1980, this volume holds key works including Poem About My Rights, Poem About Police Violence, Free Flight, and an essay by the poet, For the Sake of the People's Poetry: Walt Whitman and the Rest of Us. June Jordan was a fierce advocate for the safety and humanity of women and Black people, and for the freedom of all people--and Barack Obama made a line from this book famous: We are the ones we have been waiting for. With love and humor, via lyrics and rants, she calls for nothing less than radical compassion. This new edition includes a foreword by Nicole Sealey.
