    In June the bush we call
    alder was heavy, listless,
    its leaves studded with galls,
    growing wherever we didn’t
    want it.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived.
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)
