Dear Artist is Jaiya John’s mystic Love letter to artists and to all souls, to enrich your creative life. A full-blooded, sensual, intimate honoring and celebration of the divine spark of creativity in you. Jaiya’s letter reads like a private sharing from an old friend, offering an affectionate voice of purpose and clarity.

You may be startled by how deeply your tender heart feels seen, listened to, honored, affirmed. Find in these pages tide pools of poetry and passion. Wade into any rejuvenating page and soak your weariness.

Jaiya traces back to your beginning in life, to touch with Loving medicine those points in your journey that harmed or nourished your river of soulful expression. These offerings will help you dissolve your barriers, transcend your fears, and transform your challenges into a composted kind of peace.

The passages also activate the collective, communal, interdependent nature of creative expression. For your art is not only about you. It is also about your ancestral place and duty in this sacred web of life. Art is how Life Loves itself.

Dear Artist is concerned with resuscitating the human soul, helping us remember our sacred ways of being together and honoring the beauty of this world. It is a revival for artists, activists, revolutionaries, healers, students, teachers, and anyone who yearns to ignite the embers of their passion.

Jaiya’s Love letter reintroduces you to your original soul condition: vivacious, awestruck, unimpeded, fully alive. If you hunger to find and liberate your truest voice, to free your tears of grace, to express what your ancestors could not, Dear Artist serves a feast for you. If you thirst in the desert of your disillusion, Dear Artist is a well water, bright and clear and plenty. This is no art instruction manual. These words will have you naked, making Love, making art.

No Man Came is the short story of a woman faced with a terrible choice. Inheriting love, pain, and a haunting warning from her Mammy, she grows into a fateful relationship with herself and others, especially her relationship with men.

The peril and dire desperation this woman endures stick like summer cotton on the sharp seed hull. No Man Came is the story of a woman who waits. And waits. Until she can wait no longer. Finally, she chooses.

In the beginning, two spirits roamed every soul. One was Love. The other, fear. Fear, being restless and unsettled, mutated into two other spirits: supremacy and inferiority. Both of these would inhabit every human soul and space, forever. Waiting. To be fed.

This is a Love story. A Love for freedom that blooms into a willingness for revolution to eradicate oppression, supremacy, and inferiority. In his newest book of sacred contemplation, Dr. Jaiya John plunges us into the naked soul of social revolution, the divine nature of freedom, and the human reality of being a revolutionary. Freedom is an origin story, a message for today’s global realities, and a tale for all times. A prayer poem from the ancestors.

Since his orphan birth in the Indigenous New Mexico desert, Jaiya, formerly a professor of social psychology at Howard University, has spent his entire life contemplating, learning, teaching, and reaching for personal and collective freedom. This book is his offering of a lifetime for those brave, humbled, sacrificing souls called to give their lives for freedom work. Revolutionary labor can be lonely, isolating, discouraging, and depleting. Freedom is a Love-soaked trove of affirmation, appreciation, reassurance, and renewal.

Freedom is for poets and professors, parents and activists, leaders and students, and for anyone whose inner healer rises and roars, stirs and sings. Anyone who dares to help birth a new world of human dignity, a world that dissolves the old structures, systems, ideologies, and spirit that incarcerate and traumatize generation after generation.

Freedom is a wild flock of verses, each offering its own distinct medicine: window, door, compass, shelter, quiet, hope, courage, oasis, revelation, assurance, encouragement, faith, music, dance, prayer, light, laughter, tears, nourishment, rest, solidarity, strategy, ancestral presence, generational duty, reminder of Love. Freedom is presented in deep-breath verses that float on the page in space, unbound from one another. Savor this book as both an inspirational, reflective, daily devotional, as well as an academic and strategic resource. Drop in on any page for your daily bread and grace. Freedom is poetry, proverb, and prophecy as much as practice protocol. In the tradition of Jaiya’s book Daughter Drink This Water, Freedom will replenish the intangible wellspring that is your soul. 2020. 5.5 x 8.5. Hardcover and softcover. First edition. 228 pages. Inspiration / social issues.

is a meditation on identity, culture, and healing in children separated from family. Among the numerous causes for these displacements are poverty, abuse, neglect, natural disaster, epidemic, immigration, incarceration, addiction, war, genocide, oppression, and child labor and trafficking.

We who raise and serve these displaced young, through our embrace, are a vital factor in their ultimate healing.

Reflection Pond offers us his personal meditation, a looking glass for what these youth have whispered into his spirit. They have shared their need for reflection ponds: people, places, and experiences through which their own beauty and purpose are reflected back to them.

Black Baby White Hands: A View from the Crib. SOUL WATER RISING PROUDLY PRESENTS A LANDMARK MEMOIR. It is only months following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the nation is burning. Black and White America are locked in the tense grip of massive change. Into this inferno steps an unsuspecting young White couple. Neither truly knew even a single African American person while growing up. Now, a child will change all of that forever. Over the fateful years to come, a Black child becomes perhaps the first in the history of New Mexico to be adopted by a White family. Here is a brazenly honest glimpse into the mind and heart of that child, a true story for the ages that flows like a soulful river—separated from his mother at birth, placed into foster care, adopted, and finally reunited with his biological family in adulthood—an astounding journey of personal discovery.

Jaiya John has opened the floodgates on his own childhood with this piercing memoir. Black Baby White Hands, a waterfall of jazz splashing over the rocks of love, pain and the honoring of family. Magically, this book finds a way to sing as it cries, and to exude compassion even as it dispels well-entrenched myths. This story is sure to find itself well worn, stained by tears, and brushed by laughter in the lap of parents, adolescents, educators, students and professionals. Here comes the rain and the sunshine, all at once. Second Edition, 2005 (First edition 2002). 5.5″ x 8.5″ Soft cover. 350 pages. memoir/African American/adoption.

“Penetrating. John’s is a truly fresh voice emergent from an insightful American childhood.”
—Terrie Williams, author of The Personal Touch and Stay Strong: Simple Life Lessons for Teens. Founder, The Stay Strong Foundation

“One of the few books to examine transracial adoption from a balanced perspective and to make a strong case for considering culture in placement decisions. It should be read by all adoptive parents, caseworkers, agency heads, policymakers and groups concerned about the best interests of children of color in foster care.”
—Robert B. Hill, Ph.D., sociologist and author of the seminal book The Strengths of Black Families

“Our concept of civil rights and spiritual responsibility has been peeled back afresh and rendered deeper with this book.”
—James M. Jones, Ph.D., author of Prejudice and Racism

“This is a pot of gold for adoptive parents, and especially for transracially adoptive parents. But more than that, this book is priceless for anyone who cares to voyage into the wonderland that is a child’s heart.”
—Sydney Duncan, MSW, Founding Executive, Homes for Black Children, The nation’s first African American adoption agency

“Powerful. This book is not only beautifully written, it also deserves a wide audience.”
—Writer’s Digest
 

Black Baby White Hands: A View from the Crib is a memoir that, via the intense intimacy of one child’s life, represents in microcosm the experience of many youth in this society. Beyond race, this story also mines the culturally rich texture of contemporary U.S. American youth and their families. This book has been adopted for high school and college courses nationwide. In addition to its obvious child welfare implications, it reveals much of the complex psyche of African American and Caucasian American children and adults, as well as those of people of all heritages and backgrounds in today’s overwhelming social world.
