“In political journalism that cuts like razors, in essays that
blast the darkness of confusion with relentless light; in poetry
that looks as closely into lilac buds as into death’s mouth . . .
she has comforted, explained, described, wrestled with, taught and
made us laugh out loud before we wept . . . I am talking about a
span of forty years of tireless activism coupled with and fueled by
flawless art.”
—Toni Morrison, on June Jordan
