Haruko/Love Poems by June Jordan

A bold, intimate sequence of love poems that fuses sensual confession with political witness, tracing desire, tenderness, jealousy, and devotion alongside meditations on race, gender, state violence, and home. The speaker’s voice embraces radical vulnerability and erotic joy while insisting that love is both a private sanctuary and a public act of resistance, ultimately seeking connection, freedom, and belonging in a fractured world.
