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.
