Book Overview
For Haruko Little moves on sight Then and
blinded by histories
as trivial or expansive
as the rain
seducing light
into a blurred excitement
she opens
all of one eye
as accurate as longing
as two hands beholden to the hunger of green leaves
rinsing them back
into regular breath
she who sees
she frees each of these
beggarly events
cleansing them
of dust and other...

This is simply a swell collections of poems. Some are sweet, others painful. All are provoking.
The Heartbeat of a Lover's Soul
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
June Jordan's poetry beats furiously in the name of love: for Haruko, for life, for real. Since the human language is inadequate to truly express this emotion, Jordan manipulates and bends the written word to fit the human heart. When she describes love as "yes directed by desire" ("When I or Else"), she speaks the living truth.Read "Free Flight", "Roman Poem Number Five" and "12:01 A.M." and let her words reverberate in your every mental crevice. Let your feelings stir as hers until you see with love's eyes. That is the definition of poetry.
This book is damn good.

This book is blood, sweat and tears. It is the sweet succulence of love. Her poetry is bitter and rich.
