Hayden was taken in and renamed by a foster family early in his life, and grew up in the ghetto. Hayden largely wrote of religion, the past, and nature and was very committed to his religion of the Baha'I Faith, yet he was constantly faced with the realities of the contemporary world. In 1936, Hayden served as chief researcher on Negro History and Folklore for the Federal Writers Project (FWP).

Robert Hayden "Those Winter Sundays" Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him. I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he'd call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house, Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know of love's austere and lonely offices?

Robert Hayden Biography Born in Michigan, Robert Hayden grew up in what he ironically called "Paradise Valley," a poor Detroit neighborhood. Financial difficulties forced him to leave college early, and he joined the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration, for two years researching the history of the abolition movement and Michigan's underground railroad. One of the most important poets of the African American experience, Hayden chronicles contemporary racial life in urban centers as well as the nineteenth-century slave trade. His best-known poem, Middle Passage (1982), is a multivocal account of the slave ships that brought blacks from Africa to the New World as well as the story of a slave rebellion aboard the ship Amistad . In 1976 Hayden was appointed poetry consultant to the Library of Congress, the first African American to hold the position. He taught at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, until his death. Hayden's volumes of poetry include Heart-Shape in the Dust Ballad of Remembrance (1962), and

About Hayden's Life and Career Mark A. Sanders R obert Hayden looms as one of the most technically gifted and conceptually expansive poets in American and African American letters. Attending to the specificities of race and culture, Hayden's poetry takes up the sobering concerns of African American social and political plight; yet his poetry posits race as a means through which one contemplates the expansive possibilities of language, and the transformational power of art. An award-winning poet of voice, symbol, and lyricism, Hayden's poetry celebrates human essence. After leaving the Federal Writers' Project in 1938, marrying Erma Morris in 1940, and publishing his first volume, Heart-Shape in the Dust (1940), Hayden enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1941. In pursuit of a master's degree, Hayden studied under W. H. Auden, who directed Hayden's attention to issues of poetic form, technique, and artistic discipline. After finishing his degree in 1942, then teaching several years at Michigan, Hayden went to Fisk University in 1946, where he remained for twenty-three years, returning to Michigan in 1969 to complete his teaching career. Hayden's poetry reflects dramatic growth from imitation to a fully realized and independent artistic vision.

12. Robert Hayden's Epic Of Community Article about hayden's themes as expressed in his writings and their cultural antecedents. http://www.uga.edu/bahai/News/092298.html

Robert Hayden's Epic of Community. (African American poet) Author/s: Benjamin Friedlander Issue: Fall, 1998 As early as 1941 Robert Hayden prepared himself for the task of writing a "black-skinned epic," an ambition he formed after reading Stephen Vincent Benet's long Civil War poem, John Brown's Body. Interviewed in 1972, Hayden spoke of this ambition in the following manner: I've always been interested in Afro-American history, and when I was a young poet, since I knew that our history had been misrepresented, I wanted to contribute toward an understanding of what our past had really been like. I set out to correct the misconceptions and to destroy some of the stereotypes and cliches which surrounded Negro history. (Collected Prose 162) Speaking here of "our" history and "our" past, Hayden shifts easily from the first person singular to first person plural, a reminder that all historical epics are first of all affirmations of community. Yet readers familiar with Hayden's concerns, with the care of his writing, will hear in this particular affirmation a quiet but important ambiguity. For while he speaks in this passage in the first person plural, it is not entirely clear whether his "our" is meant to encompass all of America, or only the Negro portion. As I shall try to show, the possibility afforded by this ambiguity is a major theme of Hayden's later work. Over the years Hayden's planned epichis ambitious corrective to cliches and misconceptions about black historywould assume many forms, reaching temporary completion as a collection of poems called The Black Spear, "a mixture of styles, idioms" submitted to various publishers but eventually withdrawn (Collected Prose 187). Asked about the genesis of this collection, Hayden recalled:

Hayden's oral history transcripts of interviews with Boston African American railroad workers were donated to the University of Massachusetts at Boston in April 1992 by James R. Green. Biography: Robert C. Hayden, history professor at Northeastern University and President of RCH Associates, interviewed thirty-two retired Boston African American railroad workers over a period of two years as background research for a special permanent exhibition. "The Knights of the Rail" exhibition was dedicated in 1991 at the MBTA Back Bay/South End Station. It commemorates A. Philip Randolph and Boston's African American railroad workers. James R. Green, the donor of the collection, served as the researcher and author of the exhibition text. A. Philip Randolph, the African American labor and civil rights leader, organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters between 1925 and 1937. The union was the first successful Black union in America. Randolph served at its president until his retirement in 1968. He also served as Executive Vice-President of the AFL-CIO and helped organize the 1963 March on Washington. Scope: The collection consists of typed transcripts of twenty-seven of the oral history interviews conducted as background research by Robert Hayden. The transcripts appear to be first drafts. Some indicate the date of the interview, they appear to have been conducted primarily in 1988 and 1989. One transcript is for an interview in 1977 with Francena Robertson which appears to be earlier research on the topic. 2

Whether one looks in the domain of society or of the individual, the lack of a normative standard is abundantly manifest. This is apparent in the work of Jacques Derrida, who asserts that an unparalleled "event" or "rupture" has occurredspecifically, the loss of the center. More tellingly, he says, "This affirmation then determines the non-center otherwise than as a loss of the center." The non-center is "thought" or

Coming Soon: New Workshops for Spring 2003 Japanese Acupuncture and Bodywork Institute (JABI) is the name I gave to a series of workshops in the Chicago area, beginning in 1997. The fist class was with the great Stephen Brown (pictured at left), and the rest of them have been taught by myself. Subjects taught have included Shudo-style Meridian Therapy, Sotai, Japanese moxibustion techniques, Plus-Minus techniques (magnets, Ion-Pumping cords), non-inserted needle techniques, Channel Sinew treatments, and more. I have since relocated to South Florida, but I still teach classes several times a year at Ohashiatsu Chicago in Evanston. Updated information can be found here.
