An excerpt from an April 27, 2000 interview with author, poet, essayist and critic June Jordan at the New York State Writers Institute (http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/).
June Jordan, one of the most published African American writers in history, is the author of more than twenty-five major works, including ten collections of poetry, five books of essays, two plays, a novel and eight children's books.
Jordan's writings explore topics ranging from individual concerns like love and self-awareness to broader social issues raised by conflicts in Nicaragua, Africa, the Balkans and elsewhere. Yet what emerges most clearly in her works is an unsparing focus on African-American life in the United States, including the mixed varieties of experiences that are clearly tied up in it.
