East of the River Inter-Scholastic Slam League
Mission Statement
The East of the River Inter-Scholastic Slam League is designed to build upon the success of the
acclaimed Hart Middle School Writing Workshop. The Hart Workshop, now beginning its third
year, has introduced hundreds of young adolescents to the joys of self expression and the written
word, helping to fortify them against the lure of drugs and violence. Students of the Hart Workshops
have published two anthologies, given readings at venues throughout D.C., won numerous writing
awards, and competed in Poetry Slams both with other young writers and with such nationally
known poets as Nikki Giovanni and former Poet Laureate of the United States, Robert Haas. As a
result of their experiences with the workshop, many Hart students have been able to further their
creative efforts at D.C.'s magnet high schools for academics and the arts.
Under the auspices of the D.C. WritersCorps Program, a project of the Humanities Council of
Washington DC, which brings writers into underserved communities, the Hart Workshop has
expanded to three other middle schools in the challenged Anacostia (East of the River) area. In
addition to exposing many more students to creative writing, the East of the River Interscholastic
Slam League gives them the opportunity to participate in friendly competition with other young
writers, helping to ease the neighborhood rivalries which often flare into gang violence.
The Slam League will consist of four Writing Clubs/Slam Teams, each under the direction of a
volunteer teacher and Slam League Project Director, Nancy Schwalb, founder of the Hart Middle
School Writing Workshop. Schwalb will develop writing exercises designed to make poetry
accessible and enjoyable to young teens, help to train the teachers and volunteers, and meet semi-
weekly with each club. Club meetings will began in November, 1997 with practice slams held at
Borders Books starting in late December. The year's activities will culminate in a major venue (such
as Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage), with the goal of displaying for the community the talents
of young people who are often written off as hopelessly enmeshed in poverty, drugs, violence.

INTRODUCTION
In the eight short months since its inception, the Hart Junior High Writing
Workshop has left its mark on the community. The student writers who have par-
ticipated in the workshop have spent the year learning about poets and poetry. short
stories. the power of the written word, and the joy of self expression. They have
written remarkable poems. poems full of wit and beauty and emotion- poems that
have made their elders sit up and take notice. And the city has noticed. Students
from Hart have read their work in public forums throughout the city: The D.C.
Lottery Commission, The Library of Congress. and Borders Books. They have won
awards from the Parkmont Poetry Contest. And they were featured in an article in
The Washington Post that let the world know about the good things that are hap-
pening in our corner of Southeast.
This anthology represents some of the finest writing produced in the work-
shop this year. The students worked hard to develop their talents, and their writing
shows it. Their poems are funny and sad, serious, topical, and profound. Sit back.

and playwrights of the future.
Special thanks are due to the hardworking teachers who made this workshop
possible: Irma Morgan, Head of the English Department, Ethel Rivers, Kristina
Baumgartel, Eva Fields, Annie Smith, and Carolyn Jackson. Thanks also to Princi-
pal Evelyn Gainous, and Vice Principals Willie McElroy and Yvonne Davis, and to
the tireless staff that make Hart Junior High the Heartbeat of Southeast.

Introduction
As our second year draws to a close, the Charles Hart Middle
School Writing Workshop continues to achieve remarkable
success. The students have continued their studies of a variety
of poetry and poetic forms, and their writing has continued
to flourish This year our students have won a number of
writing awards: Yulanda Cunningham, Niyetta Diggs,
Starshima Joyner, and April Timberlake won the Parkmont
Poetry Contest; Bernard Best, Kevin Butler, Demetrius Ratliff,
Corina Smyers, April Timberlake, and Crystal Watts won a
total of over nine hundred dollars in the Larry Neal Awards;
and Karen Baylor, Joseph Roderick, and David Slaughter were
on the winning team in a Poetry Slam against a team of
nationally known professional poets. Our students have also
read their work and attended readings at a variety of venues
throughout the city.
This anthology represents some of the best writing
produced by our students this school year. The students have
worked hard, and their work shows it. Enjoy!
Special thanks are due to the hardworking teachers who
made this workshop possible: Irma Morgan, Head of the
English Department, Gloria Ferguson, Eva Fields, Carolyn
Jackson, and Ethel Rivers. Thanks also to Principal Evelyn
Gainous, and Vice Principals Yvonne Davis and Willie McElroy

(I'm sending you this, only be cause it includes information about Borders' Slam, May 8)
I am writing to invite you to be one of a team of six "venerable" poets to read in our second
annual Bring in da Slam, a rent party and poetry slam benefiting WritersCorps/East of the River
Inter-Scholastic Slam League, the evening of May 8 1998. Last year, then Poet Laureate, Robert
Hass lead the "graybeard" team (which included poets Nikki Giovanni and Henry Taylor) into
competition before a crowd of 800, as they attempted to slam a team of young poets drawn from
WritersCorps creative writing workshops across the city. NPR's Ray Suarez was the "bout
emcee" and Susan Stamberg was the host. This year, poets Hal Sirowitz, Naomi Ayala, Jabari
Asim, and Reg E. Gaines have agreed to enter into the fray. Ray Suarez will once again be the
bout emcee.
WritersCorps/East of the River Slam League is a community service program, funded by the
National Endowment for the Arts, Humanities Council of Washington, DC and other corporate
and private entities, which uses the literary arts to strengthen reading, writing and
communication skills, and to offer a healthy outlet for self-expression. Through public readings
and poetry slams, the community as a whole learns about the positive and intellectual capabilities
of "at risk" youth from inner-city neighborhoods.
Chicagoan Marc Smith first coined the phrase "poetry slam" in 1987 to describe competitive
poetry events that challenge poets to perform as well as they write, and to have fun too boot. For
our purposes, each team will consist of six poets who will read their work individually, with their
awarded scores (five judges will be assembled to score the performances) counting toward a
team total. There will be two rounds, so the audience will be able to hear each poet read twice.
Understandably, we want the team of kids to end up victorious. Our goal that evening is to raise
awareness and money, not the national poetry standard.
Every penny Borders raises that evening will be donated to Writers Corps/ERSL. We'll raise
money is several ways: a $5 "rent fee" will be levied on everyone who walks through the front
door (last year we raised over $7000 this way); the books of featured readers will be available for
sale and autographing. Borders will donate a percentage of the entire day's sales to
WritersCorps/ERSL. The magnitude of last year's success still reverberates. The audience was
immense and enthusiastic, and the most integrated audience, in terms of race, age, and class, I
have ever seen in Washington.

MEMORANDUM TO CAPRICIA P. MARSHALL

Bobbie Greene
Bitsey Folger
RE:
Slatkin Event
The idea for a recital given by the Slatkins in the White House was born during a conversation
between Linda Slatkin and the President back in the spring of '97. The two were having a
conversation at an event in the White House. When the President learned that Linda was a
professional singer, he suggested that the two play in the White House at a future date. Bitsey
was suggested by Melanne to be the liaison with the NSO organization.
Many dates have been suggested but thus far no event has been scheduled. Attached are a few of
the memos dating back to July 1997. The latest list except for May 13th is still current. The
Slatkins are excited about the possibility and await word of the scheduling.

Dera Bitsey:
I have had a chance to talk with Linda about another set of White House dates. We can suggest:
June 7,8,9,10,14,15,16,17 of 23-30.
Linda's preference would be for any of the June 7,8,9,10 dates because Michel Camillo will be
here for the Caribbean Festival with the NSO and she says he would bring the house down.
We could also suggest May 13 or 15, but Linda and Leonard will just have returned from
extensive travelling and wouldn't have had much time to prepare. These May dates should only
be considered if none of the June dates will work.
I am holding all of these dates on Leonard's calendar and will continue to do so until I hear from
you.
Thanks for your help. Have a great time at the Opera!

WORKING TOGETHER for
GOOD JOBS AND GOOD CARE
Parents Can't Afford to Pay.
Many working families spend as much as one-quarter of their income on child care.
Teachers and Providers Can't Afford to Stay.
Approximately three-quarters of the child care workforce eams an income below the poverty level.
Roughly one-third will leave their jobs this year-most often to eam a better living elsewhere.
Take Action for a Better Way!
Let policy makers know why investment in child care is essential to the
well-being of children and families.
Speak Out!
On May 1 - Worthy Wage Day - parents, child care teachers, family child care providers and
concerned citizens are joining together to take visible, bold action to call for investment in better
care for children which requires better child care jobs.
Story Time for Policy Makers
In response to research on the brain development of young children, the increased need for child
care, and parents struggling with child care cost, President Clinton and members of Congress are
proposing legislative solutions. Many policy makers grasp that proposed investments in child care
must address both the quality of jobs and the quality of services.
In order to move from proposals to reality, we're organizing a story time for policy makers. They
need to hear your stories about how the lack of money for child care affects parents ability to work
and how living on meager child care wages affects the ability to continue caring for and teaching
young children. We need to gather and send stories that will urge policy makers to pass
legislation that helps parents pay for child care and Increases the compensation and
education of the workforce. Worthy Wage Day is an opportunity to have an impact by delivering
many stories on that day.
Take Steps Toward Better Child Care Jobs
Creating Better Child Care Jobs: Model Work Standards is the new child care workplace
assessment tool which provides criteria for improving the center-based child care teaching and
work environment. Teachers, directors and parents can work together to take concrete steps to
reduce turnover and improve working conditions. Around the country, staff and parents will be

The Worthy Wage Campaign. Good child care jobs are the comerstone of high quality child
care services for children and families. Yet most child care jobs do not pay a living wage, leading
to high tumover. The Worthy Wage Campaign is a grassroots effort led by teachers and providers
in all child care settings to mobilize to improve their working conditions and gain community
respect. Together, we strengthen our voices, foster respect, and promote accessible and affordable
high-quality early care and education to meet the diverse needs of children and families. The
Worthy Wage Campaign, coordinated by the Center for the Child Care Workforce, began in 1991
as a multi-year effort led by child care teachers and providers around the country to draw attention
to the importance of child care work and the desperate need to improve child care jobs.
Worthy Wage Day. May 1, 1998 marks the 7th annual Worthy Wage Day of action. It is a
day of activism which includes job shadowing - community leaders and parents working along side
teachers and providers; rallies, speak-outs and forums to support proposals for public investment in
compensation and training; and, showcasing the recently drafted Model Work Standards, which
define the work environment which enables teachers and providers to offer the best care and
education for children and accord child care professionals the respect they deserve.
