There’s a new selection of June Jordan’s poetry out, The Essential June Jordan. Here is a short sample–a poem I love for so many reasons, not least because of the way the complexity of title plays against the simplicity of the poem:
Poem Number Two on Bell’s Theorem, or The New Physicality
of Long Distance Love
There is no chance that we will fall apart
There is no chance
There are no parts.
June Jordan
