Edición de la obra Still seeking an attitude

"From her activism to her passionate writings, June Jordan (1936-2002) is one of the most revered American poets of our time. Jordan's writing simultaneously provokes delight and energy while urging reflection on American society and its injustices. In Still Seeking an Attitude, the first reflection on her legacy, Jordan's life and works are explored in depth and detail, focusing on subjects ranging from her use of language and linguistics to her political activism and role in children's literature. These critical examinations elucidate the power and poetry of her words, serving as a supplement for those already familiar with Jordan and an excellent guide for anyone discovering her works for the first time."--Jacket.
