June Jordan, who died of cancer in 2002, was a brilliant, fierce, radical, and frequently furious poet. We were friends for thirty years.

I think that I do feel that my nature is to express what this self, this particular self at this time, experiences in the world.

It's around the table and in the preparation of food that we learn about ourselves and about the world.
