This performance will bring together the moving poetry of the late activist June Jordan, the piano and compositional artistry of Adrienne Torf, and the powerful spoken word of the Michigan based Voices of the Revolution. Special guests Flint Poet Laureate Semaj Brown and Natasha Elle Thomas will also be part of the show. Two recent additions to VOTR, Rose Jangmi Cooper and Shelia Burks, will add vocal alchemy to the performance. The shows from this collaboration were/are the first time that a selection of Jordan and Torf’s collaborative works are being performed in this format — a program honoring June Jordan’s legacy, including performances of the collaborative works along with poems by Jordan and other poets. Tracks from Jordan and Torf’s Collaboration: Selected Works 1988-2000 written and recorded by Jordan and Torf and released in 2003 will be featured.
The poetry performed is for an adult audience. The content includes images of misogyny, racism, violence, and other intersections of oppression.
