I‘ve Known Rivers Press is proud to introduce, as its first title, the work of poet Herman Alexander Baron III. In Conversations with My Soul: Messages from a Wounded Warrior, Baron gives us a voice that is both a cry from the heart and a window into a unique poetic voice. Baron, who is incarcerated in a federal prison in the south, was born in 1976. His poems are part of a long tradition in African American letters of poetry and song of the incarcerated and the enslaved. From the enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley, to the folksinger Huddie Leadbetter (Leadbelly) and the poet Ethridge Knight, both of whom won their freedom through their art, African American letters and song have long included those forcibly held at the margins of society in its ranks. Its prose writers have also included former slaves and former prisoners, from Frederick Douglass to Chester Himes and Malcolm X. This is the tradition that’s produced this young poet and his very special book. His voice, though still in development, shows remarkable confidence. With echoes of influences ranging from today’s hip hop vernacular to the “cry” of Rilke, Herman Baron’s work speaks with the voice of a generation of African American men whose culture is linked with incarceration, but one that nevertheless, seeks to liberate its soul. With these poems, these “conversations” Baron gives us the voice of his liberating soul. Conversations Conversations Soul Soul MY MY WITH WITH Literature for Reluctant Readers and Youth at Risk “Champion” From Conversations with My Soul by Herman Baron III I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, Having to cry in the dark, Unable to express the emotions I truly feel in my heart, Because it wasn’t scripted in my part. But I’m human, dammit, not an actor. Did you think to factor into the equation That maybe I was just good at the art of persuasion? I spent years living behind my disguise, Infecting my mind and body with lies, So I could be a part of lives I knew nothing about. I brainwashed myself into doubt And now it’s a heavyweight bout. I’m blocking out all the screams and shouts, I’m focused for the title fight of my life, It’s the 3rd round and victory is nowhere in sight. Self-destruction keeps hitting me with rights It’s taking all my might just to stay in the fight. 10th round and I’m still on my feet. My adversary is underestimating me, Doesn’t know I’m playing for keeps, And when the final bell rings I’ll be the true champion of my life. 516-489-0120 I’VE KNOWN RIVERS PRESS www.lindamichellebaron.com
