Celebration of June Jordan’s His Own Where with Sapphire, Staceyann Chin, Sofia Quintero, and Girls Write Now
The Feminist Press celebrates the much anticipated reissue of June Jordan’s 1971 young adult novel, His Own Where, with a new introduction by Sapphire. This classic novel about two young people in Brooklyn navigating poverty and discovering love for the first time was a finalist for the National Book Award and gained both praise and notoriety for being written entirely in Black English. Acclaimed authors and poets Sapphire, Staceyann Chin, and Sofia Quintero, and future literary stars from Girls Write Now read from this stunning novella about urban love.
