I felt a great loss personally with her passing. I have a strong emotional, spiritual, and historical connection to Cortez. And since I, too, lived in Arizona we might've crossed paths unknowingly. Our cultural interests are so connected that I can't believe we had never met. We would've enjoyed each other's friendship, for certain. You know, once upon a time, I was up on the creative endeavors of women of color. But they've just left me in the dust! I've lost my sister!
I have only discovered Jayne Cortez. What a treasure. What power!
She’s one of my favorites... her poetry style and form is unmatched ❤️✊🏾
Jayne passed away Dec. 28th, 2012.....Thanks Jayne for your inspirational poetry...and your activism. RIP.
I am so blown away by this woman’s blues...the sheer power and beauty of her delivery.
