Praise for This Unruly Witness
““ Through poignant, funny, and searing reflections by so many who walked alongside Jordan, this collection offers readers of Jordan’s work a living portrait of a great American poet.”“
“If you do not know this poet, no matter how many material possessions you amass—you are impoverished.”“
“For June, the struggle ultimately was about and in the service of love. The ways this book allows both to coexist is impressive.”
