" Reamy Jansen, San Francisco Chronicle* Some of Us Did Not Die brings together a rich sampling of the late poet June Jordan's prose writings. The essays in this collection, which include her last writings and span the length of her extraordinary career, reveal Jordan as an incisive analyst of the personal and public costs of remaining committed to the ideal and practice of democracy. Willing to venture into the most painful contradictions of American culture and politics, Jordan comes back with lyrical honesty, wit, and wide-ranging intelligence in these accounts of her reckoning with life as a teacher, poet, activist, and citizen. 181762 2002 Some of Us Did Not Die: New and Selected Essays of June Jordan total:100|5:54|4:36|3:6|2:2|1:2| 100 438 163 11 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun May 03 16:12:16 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 16:12:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 18:03:03 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 15:23:06 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 09 16:07:40 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 16:07:40 -0800 2008 it's like, when you wake up in the morning after you've been asleep under your warm blankets and you take a step outside your bed, beyond the comfort of your cozy little world, and realize that the world is a cold place, and you start to shiver. the realization of wha...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Sep 11 02:01:15 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 02:04:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Feb 23 21:42:14 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 21:59:24 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Aug 03 19:04:51 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 19:07:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 21 13:33:09 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 01 20:32:57 -0700 2009
