Love Poems
A landmark collection of love poetry by the most widely published African American poet of her time, tracing the arc of a queer relationship and including some of her most famous poems Foreword by aja monet • Afterword by Adrienne Rich A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paperWith the publication in 1993 of Love Poems (published as Haruko / Love Poems), June Jordan became the first major Black poet to write a collection composed entirely of love poems. In the first half of the collection, Jordan wrestles with the heartbreak of her doomed relationship with a woman identified only by her first name, Haruko. In the second half, which brings together poems written over the course of twenty years, including some of her most famous, like “Poem About My Rights,” “Resolution #1,003,” “I Must Become a Menace to My Enemies,” and “Poem Number Two on Bell’s Theorem,” she explores various manifestations of love—as romance and political resistance, selfhood and motherhood, connection to and alienation from a beautiful and often cruel world. With this Penguin Classics edition, June Jordan takes her place in the American canon alongside her contemporaries Audre Lorde, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lucille Clifton, Nikki Giovanni, and bell hooks.

Nothing Less Than Love
An ideal introduction to the work of the poet, activist, and visionary whom Toni Morrison called “our premiere Black woman essayist,” Nothing Less Than Love brings together for the first time June Jordan’s essential writings on the revolutionary power of love. A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paperLove is dangerous. That is why the most stringently censored Black feminist poet and essayist of the twentieth century has a body of work suffused with it. The most widely published African American writer of her time, June Jordan was on the front lines of American literature and international injustice, a courageous agitator for change who wrote with love and ferocity. This volume, drawn from the full span of her career, makes manifest her vision of a lover who is a fighter, and a fighter who is always motivated by love. From her own battle with breast cancer to her exploration of Black English, she offers an example of how to find enough love within our rage both to make change and care for our communities and for future generations. This is how we learn to understand the stakes of love—with June Jordan as our passionate teacher.

Proof
Inaugural Poem Suite"In Proof: Inaugural Poem Suite, Cornelius Eady gathers a searing, supple body of poems that confront American history, racial violence, civic ritual, and everyday endurance with lyrical precision and moral urgency. Anchored by the title poem—written by invitation and delivered to wide acclaim at the inauguration of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani—this collection moves fluently between public address and intimate reckoning. Eady reclaims the poem as witness, ceremony, and instrument of insistence, drawing connective tissue between past and present, private grief and collective memory.”
