Haruko/Love Poems by June Jordan
i've enjoyed I MUST BECOME A MENACE TO MY ENEMIES for a hot minute & the way she writes skin has always been lovely but this was my first! real extended time with her.
very here for it. absolutely. I feel there's a slower start with HArUKo before we get to the more assured persona of the love poems section. But it's subtle. my FAVOURITE compliment / devotion is the line nothing about you / reminds me of money.
The long Pompeii poem ('Roman Poem Number Five') is just incredible & while it's recognised I think it deserves more immediate name rec as one of the best long poems written in the last century . But she's so full, all along, so giving. She's one that can set you off so easy to work your own way too... I just rly like how this panned out
