Some Changes / June Jordan / 1971
This is Jordan's first collection of poetry for adults and the first time I've read her in book form. She did not disappoint. I'm charmed by how absolutely weird she is, jamming words and phrases together until they're jelly on your tongue. Included in this collection is my favorite Jordan poem "In Memorium: Martin Luther King Jr" as well as new-to-me bangers like "What Would I Do White?" As always, her political vision is impeccable. 5/5
