Rest in power phenomenal woman 🌹

One of our great poets and one of her great poems. Never more relevant than today.

Powerful and empowering! It's been a while since I've heard such a strong female voice that will not be silenced but call out with such eloquence and verve an unremitting declaration of unapologetic strength and self-victory.

saw this in creative writing class. she just slayed everyone! new favorite writer, damn.

oh thank you for posting. june jordan is in my heart! so glad to find recordings online. i used to get to hear her live. thank you.

Righting the wrong by telling your truth and how they stretch and stretch and stretch and then bam, like mercury, they reform into your face, your name, your voice. Beautiful. Right on! Powerful. This poem is not consent. My resistance may cost you your life! Bam!

Beautiful, and sad poem. More women need to need to know the truth.

What a gift she gave us all.

Chilling. Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you, Staceyann Chin for bringing me here. Beautiful.

"I am not wrong: Wrong is not my name My name is my own my own my own and I can’t tell you who the hell set things up like this but I can tell you that from now on my resistance my simple and daily and nightly self-determination may very well cost you your life"

Absolutely bold and powerful and courageous. I love this!

"And I can't tell you who the hell set it up like this"

oh shit this is great

“Finally you understand” I was wrong to be who I am which is exactly like South Africa penetrating into Namibia

I wish I could find the poem about police violence.

I AM NOT WRONG WRONG IS NOT MY NAME

Seven people have no soul.

What in the hell is everyone being reasonable about?

Can someone tell me what her main point/s are in this poem.
