“REACH OUT AND TOUCH<br />
SOMEBODY’S MIND”<br />
From For the Love of Life<br />
by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />
TO ORDER<br />
Sometimes you just want to say “Hello.”<br />
Maybe they’re home, but you don’t know.<br />
So, you let the phone ring a time or two,<br />
Phone: (516) 489-0120<br />
then what you probably will do is hang it up.<br />
Fax: (516) 292-9120<br />
Maybe you’ll “drop another dime”<br />
Email: harlinjacquepub@aol.com<br />
when you’re able to find the time.<br />
So you hang it up.<br />
www.lindamichellebaron.com<br />
But when you KNOW someone is home<br />
and you must reach them, now, by phone,<br />
you don’t just ring a time or two.<br />
You ring and ring ‘til you get through.<br />
If no one picks up, “it must be me,<br />
I dialed a two, I meant a three.”<br />
So, you redial and take more care,<br />
because you know someone is there.<br />
516-489-0120 2<br />
www.lindamichellebaron.com
Maybe something is wrong with the line.<br />
So, you call the operator this time.<br />
You’re more concerned, you start to think,<br />
“Perhaps the equipment is on the blink.”<br />
So, you call phone repair,<br />
explain to them someone IS there.<br />
There must be something they can do.<br />
It is a MUST that you get through.<br />
Well, let me try to make this clear. . .<br />
Compare the phone call to a classroom,<br />
where a child sits w-a-y back in the rear.<br />
He’s wearing shabby clothes . . .<br />
has uncombed hair.<br />
He’s so much slower than the rest . . .<br />
scores so much lower on every test.<br />
Yes, that’s the child I mean.<br />
There’s only one way we can find<br />
the potential of THAT child’s mind.<br />
We have to believe. . .We have to know . . .<br />
We have to try everything<br />
as though it is urgent that we get through . . .<br />
Act exactly the way we do<br />
when we’re calling on the phone,<br />
and we KNOW<br />
someone is home.<br />

Achieving Multiple Literacies<br />
Through the Magic of Poetry<br />
Iwrote a speech<br />
for a group of<br />
teachers in the<br />
city of Philadelphia in<br />
which I said that we<br />
needed to reach out<br />
to our children in the<br />
same way that we<br />
reach out when making<br />
a phone call. Two teachers<br />
followed me to my car<br />
insisting that I turn that<br />
thought into a poem. So I did.<br />
Over the years, this poem has proved to be a teacher<br />
favorite and also a favorite example of how my life as a<br />
teacher and as a teacher of teachers has always intersected<br />
with my life as a poet.<br />
—<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />
“Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Mind” by<br />
<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>, from For the Love of Life and<br />
also available as a poster (catalog page 16)<br />
www.lindamichellebaron.com
As an educator,<br />
teacher<br />
and poet, I<br />
have given deep consideration<br />
to the needs of<br />
children in every line that I<br />
write and publish. I hold their faces in mind when I write.<br />
Of course, I have certain advantages. I know the children<br />
of today. I have met them and studied with them, taught<br />
them in the schools and in the streets, in their places of<br />
recreation and of worship, and the centers of our communities,<br />
in cities, suburbs and towns all over our country<br />
for other thirty years. Now I am also helping to prepare<br />
their teachers as a assistant professor of education at<br />
York College of the City University of New York. Like you,<br />
I am looking for answers, looking for “what works.”<br />
What I want to bring to children and to their teachers and<br />
classrooms is a joy in learning, a joy in poetry, literature,<br />
and storytelling, a joy that will aid them and their teachers<br />
in the quests for understanding and achievement.<br />
At Harlin Jacque Publications all of our books and programs<br />
are special and address the needs in the lifestages<br />
of young people, as well as having universal<br />
appeal and application. I wrote many of the poems in<br />
The Sun Is On from the viewpoint of a child. I believe<br />
that a child’s voice and a child’s understanding are<br />
respectfully and joyfully presented in these pages.<br />
The Sun Is On is also a book full of humor and the experience<br />
of life. In The Sun Is On I have created a “Poetry<br />
& Idea Book” that encourages students to produce their<br />
own writing and connect with their own experiences.<br />
Our skilled and experienced educators and educational<br />
consultants have assisted me in adding the additional<br />
components of wonderful and engaging lesson plans,<br />
including a variety of graphic organizers and visualization<br />
aids, in the teacher’s editions, covering all content<br />
areas and designed to create and encourage enthusiastic<br />
young readers and writers.<br />
Down through history, poetry has been one of the most<br />
powerful ways that people reach to each other. Bring<br />
the power of poetry and students’ personal responses<br />
to poetry to your school and classroom today.<br />

“EVEN WEEDS HAVE NEEDS”<br />
From The Sun Is On<br />
by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />
Even weeds have needs, you know.<br />
Don't make me creep through cracks,<br />
or race for space to grow.<br />
...............................................................<br />
Even weeds have needs, you know.<br />
And this weed needs a great big garden,<br />
with a gardener who's not afraid<br />
to let me grow.<br />

As our<br />
children<br />
and our adolescents<br />
grow older,<br />
different experiences shape their<br />
future. Rhythm & Dues is a collection of poetry by<br />
<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong> that relates to their changing<br />
world. The Rhythm & Dues writing program includes<br />
activities and writing exercises that encourage creative<br />
thinking and writing skills in children and adolescents.<br />
Rhythm & Dues and the accompanying programs<br />
present a deeply sympathetic environment in which the<br />
budding writer can explore his or her strengths or<br />
weaknesses. At the same time, this is a challenging<br />
program, one which presents the young reader with<br />
options, questions, responsibilities, and decisions.<br />
Skills are acquired, used and practiced. This combination<br />
of practice and effort combined with the permission<br />
to create and the respect for cultural diversity and<br />
multiple literacies are in line with the author’s basic<br />
assumption of responsibility for and connection to her<br />
audience.<br />
Rhythm & Dues, as befits the title, is also one of<br />
<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>’s earthiest, most sincere, and intense<br />
books, deeply connected to and drawing from the oral traditions<br />
of African American music and storytelling.<br />
Here, <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong> has created a vehicle for<br />
students to create in their own "Oral Tradition," meaning<br />
that they will have the opportunity to read, relate,<br />
enjoy, and make a connection with her two poetry<br />
books, Rhythm & Dues: Poetry & Ideas and Rhythm &<br />
Dues: Poetry Response Book. Both present poetry<br />
interpretation in a “user-friendly" format. Students will<br />
learn to interpret poetry and adapt this process to<br />
other literature. In reading and using these two books,<br />
students will learn to appreciate and love poetry. Each<br />
poem is presented in a creative format and is accompanied<br />
with related skills and activities. These activities<br />
engage students and present the concept of poetry in<br />
a clear, concise format. Each poem is also accompanied<br />
by skills that foster and encourage critical thinking<br />
and thoughtful creativity.<br />

Against what you believe<br />
When it fights against<br />
Say No!<br />
Some of your friends say<br />
“Hey, let’s hang out.<br />
Why go to school?”<br />
They tell you that’s “fresh.”<br />
It’s supposed to be “cool.”<br />
Tell them<br />
You have another agenda<br />
You refuse to surrender<br />
You’re reaching toward a higher ground<br />
You don’t have time to hang around<br />

RHYTHM & DUES<br />
Poetry & Idea Book<br />
Rhythm & Dues is a poetry book that<br />
is more than just poetry. It is about coming of age. And<br />
the rites of passage. It is a vehicle by which one can<br />
travel from one stage of life to the next. I believe<br />
Rhythm & Dues should become an integral part of the<br />
middle/high school personal and academic experience.<br />

The parent<br />
connection<br />
is valued<br />
and respected by all our educational consultants at<br />
Harlin Jacque. We also write, edit and design our<br />
books with the family in mind.<br />
It is very important that you, as a parent, participate<br />
with interest in your children’s education throughout<br />
their school years. With that in mind, activities for<br />
Anthony Ant and Grady Grasshopper were prepared<br />
for a future of enrichment and involvement between<br />
you and your children.<br />
This well-loved fable is a favorite of children of all ages.<br />
Children love to hear and reread it over and over again.<br />
When the end of the story is read or heard and the<br />
activities begin, children’s imaginations run rampant,<br />
thoughts begin to form, and new ideas develop.<br />
I know these activities will allow you and your children<br />
to spend quality time together. In addition to teaching<br />
your children to appreciate others, these exercises will<br />
help foster a lifelong appreciation of writing, reading,<br />
and learning.<br />
It is very important that all attempts at reading and<br />
writing are valued. Allow children to make mistakes<br />
and remember the importance of correcting errors<br />
with patience and love.<br />
Don’t forget to be inventive and creative. You know your<br />
child better than anyone else. Choose the activities that<br />
best suit your child’s age, needs, and interests. Begin<br />
a library of great children’s books. Have your children<br />
choose their favorite book of the month. Establish<br />
weekly library trips. Don’t forget the library card.<br />
Remember a literacy-rich home environment will provide<br />
your children with literacy-rich futures.<br />

You are<br />
about to<br />
enter the<br />
world of poetry. Not just any<br />
world of poetry but the world of poetry inhabited by<br />
poet extraordinaire, <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>. These<br />
poems, so various and tender, so deceptively simple<br />
and yet deeply complex, will touch your heart, force<br />
you to see life differently and make your spirit dance.<br />
To read them is to be in her presence. It will be as if<br />
you are holding her in the palm of your hands while<br />
she personally shares her soul with you. Can a poet be<br />
raucous and decorous? Can she be simultaneously<br />
ancient in wisdom and young in innocence? Can a warrior<br />
woman be tender and an earth mother? Can she<br />
wield a word as fierce as a sword? Can a woman so<br />
black be also so entirely composed of a many-colored<br />
rainbow of humanity? I invite you to address yourself to<br />
these questions as you follow<br />
<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>’s<br />
captivating poetic voice<br />
down the labyrinth of<br />
time and spirit, word<br />
and idea; and then, as<br />
we used to say, “you tell<br />
me.” I know you will<br />
enjoy reading For the<br />
Love of Life: Life Lyrics<br />

“JUMP FOR THE SUN”<br />
From For the Love of Life<br />
by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />
Live like we know<br />
There’s a race to be won<br />
But to win it we have to<br />
Jump for the sun.<br />
Don’t let the sun shine on our face.<br />
Jump for the sun. Don’t stand in place.<br />
The universe has enough for everyone<br />
But to get it we have to jump for the sun.<br />
We know what it takes to begin.<br />
Get knowledge and stamina. Get set to win<br />
Get discipline, focus and control<br />
We’re getting ready to reach a goal.<br />
Jump for the sun.<br />

I‘ve Known<br />
Rivers Press is proud to introduce, as its first title, the<br />
work of poet Herman Alexander Baron III. In<br />
Conversations with My Soul: Messages from a<br />
Wounded Warrior, Baron gives us a voice that is both<br />
a cry from the heart and a window into a unique<br />
poetic voice.<br />
Baron, who is incarcerated in a federal prison in the<br />
south, was born in 1976. His poems are part of a long<br />
tradition in African American letters of poetry and song<br />
of the incarcerated and the enslaved. From the<br />
enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley, to the folksinger Huddie<br />
Leadbetter (Leadbelly) and the poet Ethridge Knight,<br />
both of whom won their freedom through their art,<br />
African American letters and song have long included<br />
those forcibly held at the margins of society in its<br />
ranks. Its prose writers have also included former<br />
slaves and former prisoners, from Frederick Douglass<br />
to Chester Himes and Malcolm X.<br />
This is the tradition that’s produced this young poet and<br />
his very special book. His voice, though still<br />
in development, shows<br />
remarkable confidence.<br />
With echoes<br />
of influences ranging<br />
from today’s hip<br />
hop vernacular to<br />
the “cry” of Rilke,<br />
Herman Baron’s work<br />
speaks with the voice<br />
of a generation of<br />
African American men<br />
whose culture is linked<br />
with incarceration, but<br />
one that nevertheless,<br />
seeks to liberate its<br />
soul. With these poems,<br />
these “conversations”<br />
Baron gives us the voice<br />
of his liberating soul.<br />

“Champion”<br />
From Conversations with<br />
My Soul<br />
by Herman Baron III<br />
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired,<br />
Having to cry in the dark,<br />
Unable to express the emotions I truly feel<br />
in my heart,<br />
Because it wasn’t scripted in my part.<br />
But I’m human, dammit, not an actor.<br />
Did you think to factor into the equation<br />
That maybe I was just good at the art of<br />
persuasion?<br />
I spent years living behind my disguise,<br />
Infecting my mind and body with lies,<br />
So I could be a part of lives I knew nothing about.<br />
I brainwashed myself into doubt<br />
And now it’s a heavyweight bout.<br />
I’m blocking out all the screams and shouts,<br />
I’m focused for the title fight of my life,<br />
It’s the 3rd round and victory is nowhere in sight.<br />
Self-destruction keeps hitting me with rights<br />
It’s taking all my might just to stay in the fight.<br />
10th round and I’m still on my feet.<br />
My adversary is underestimating me,<br />
Doesn’t know I’m playing for keeps,<br />
And when the final bell rings<br />
I’ll be the true champion of my life.<br />

This retelling<br />
is<br />
less an<br />
Aesop’s Fable and<br />
more a visit with<br />
the characteristics of<br />
some of the people I<br />
know. But that’s actually what<br />
a fable is. The lion is a personality that has traveled a<br />
gap of several centuries, yet in many ways he’s the<br />
same lion. But the lion<br />
is also a cultural statement,<br />
a message to<br />
some of those who<br />
think they “got it going<br />
on.” I hear them in the<br />
cadence and arrogance<br />
of Lion. I could<br />
not develop this story<br />
without the push of a<br />
deadline and the<br />
continued intervention<br />
of reviews that<br />
reiterated that the<br />
story was not complete.<br />
I thought I<br />
was too tired to add<br />
whatever… and yet<br />
Lion won. He<br />
wasn’t finished yet.<br />
And even as I completed his story, I want to<br />
create more Lion stories. In fact,<br />
look for my retelling of the street rap<br />
that Oscar Brown, Jr. cleaned up,<br />
“Signifying Monkey.” This is my<br />
attempt to pressure myself into sitting<br />
down to sweat through the next<br />
story.<br />

“THE LION AND THE MAN: A<br />
FABLE” by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />
From Tales with Tails<br />
by The Writers of Pen & Rose<br />
LION ROAMED THE African terrain, much like other<br />
lions you might have seen in photographs in<br />
National Geographic magazines, or those you may<br />
have witnessed during TV shows and in the movies.<br />
Although he looked similar to the captive lions you<br />
see in your local zoo, he was definitely unlike them<br />
in that he was free, born free, free as the wind<br />
blows, free as the grass . . . well you probably get<br />
my drift. And yes, he roared a wild, untamed, “I can<br />
chew you up for dinner as easily as I can pick my<br />
teeth” roar. He roared upon waking up, and at any<br />
time or anyplace throughout the day. Usually he<br />
roared for no other reason than that he liked the<br />
sound of his deep, ferocious, macho, king-of-thejungle<br />
tones.<br />
I am the king.<br />
I am king of everything!<br />
He roared.<br />

ABOUT ABOUT<br />
Harlin Jacque Publications and<br />
<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />
“You can sense immediately that <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />
has looked deep into the eyes, the faces, the hearts,<br />
and the minds of the young and not so young people<br />
for a long time.”<br />
—Ruby Dee<br />
Actress and Author<br />
“These poems, so various and tender, so deceptively<br />
simple and yet deeply complex, will touch your<br />
heart, force you to see life differently and make<br />
your spirit dance.”<br />
—Wally Amos<br />
Literacy Advocate and Cookie Baron<br />
<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>’s intellectual light burst like a<br />
sunbeam flashing into unlit places. She brought<br />
vigor, energy, hope, joy and promise to children<br />
whose school experiences had been devoid of<br />
color, brightness, or cultural relevance. She lit their<br />
“unlit lamps.” Until today, she persists in this<br />
sacred mission.<br />
—<strong>Dr</strong>. Adelaide Sanford<br />
New York State Regent<br />
