Throughout the eleven conversations of Peace, Justice, and the Poetic Mind, Buddhist thinker and leader Daisaku Ikeda and Australian peace scholar and activist Stuart Rees explore the diverse conditions that must be in place for peace to flourish and persist. Many of these fall under the banner of social and economic justice, and all constitute expressions of the nonviolent way of life, individually and socially. Adding a unique aspect to the quest for peace and justice, the authors draw attention to the power of poetry to awaken a sense of our common humanity and inspire a commitment to the dignity and well being of others.

"Introduces educators and scholars to the legacy and import of Daisaku Ikeda as a singular philosopher, educator, and institution-builder, thus enriching current education discourse. In the process, the book illuminates the benefits of cross-cultural research and learning by considering the relevance of Ikeda's thought not only to established streams of pedagogy and practice in the Deweyan tradition but also to emerging trends in education research such as ecocritical education and critical race feminism"--

Whether through lyrical celebrations of the wonders of nature; paeans to the steadfastness of women; or salutations to the world leaders who have in their various ways provided inspiration to his lifelong devotion to the causes of peace, justice and education, Daisaku Ikeda in his poems expresses unwavering commitment to the development of a humanistic global culture. These translations, the first of a three-volume collection and based on the Japanese Complete Works of Daisaku Ikeda (Ikeda Daisaku zenshu), cover the years 1945-2007, and explore the many subjects to which the leader of the Soka Gakkai International has devoted his 'poetic heart and mind.' The translators have sought to reproduce the rhythms and timbres of a voice, which- though influenced by the likes of Whitman, Defoe, Dumas, Ibsen, Emerson and Shelley- is yet distinctive and unique. Sometimes the poet adopts a simple vernacular note; at other times the compression associated with Japanese poeic forms haiku and waka. But at all times the poetry maintains a stately rhythm that reflects the dignity of ordinary language and expression. This collection will delight readers familiar with the prose writings of the author as well as those coming to his work for the first time. The poems within it speak, with freedom and feeling, of a world where genuine poetry reigns supreme- and of a world where poetic perception becomes a perception of interconnectedness; between friends. between humanity and nature, or between humanity and the cosmos.

A poetry collection that both illustrates what mindfulness is and encourages young, growing minds to be present, from poet and educator Georgia Heard, with art by Isabel Roxas. Poets have long observed the world in a mindful way. They point out beauty we might have missed, draw our attention to our inner thoughts, and call us to see our society in new ways. But as daily life become more and more chaotic, children grow distracted. According to the CDC, 9.4% of children have ADHD and 7% have anxiety/depression. And these numbers continue to climb. As treatment doctors recommend healthy eating, physical activity, plenty of sleep, and mindfulness techniques. Georgia Heard is a poet and educator—and she has long had her own meditation practice. In My Thoughts Are Clouds, she uses poetry to demonstrate what mindfulness is and gives kids—and their parents and teachers—accessible ways to learn mindfulness tools.

My Pen Speaks is a collection of rhythmic thoughts, observations and life experiences brought together in a powerful reflection of free-form poetry. Resonating with power, passion and conviction, these poems show Patrice Watley-Williams' focus on paying it forward. We often think that the only ones that need us are the less fortunate. This is far from the truth. With success comes negativity and hardship, which can turn the triumph to loneliness and often misery. The poet welcomes the reader to share the joys as well as the hardships of her life, to learn to love and embrace the trials as well as successes, and to realize that no matter how dark things may seem, we are never alone in our experiences. "In a world filled with struggles, your book gives people a chance to step away from their own challenges and remember that life can be simple and good. People who read it will not only celebrate...but may become motivated to follow a few dreams of their own." Silas "SiMan Baby" Alexander, Radio Personality "Real, relevant and refreshing are just some of the thoughts that come to mind when describing My Pen Speaks. This book is without question some of author Patrice Watley-Williams' best work to date and displays her special gift of communicating her thoughts and experiences to attract a diverse audience. We truly love this book." Grafted By Grace, Contemporary Christian Recording Artists "Lose yourself for a moment, flash back and reflect on the words and their true meaning, realizing the true spirit and passion behind this phenomenal book as it takes your mind and soul on a journey. It goes without saying the spirit and talents possessed by this blossoming author are highly heralded."

Candid, concise, deliberate; unlike the arts there is science (process, it's art too), and unlike academia it's actually intended to be read.Different pieces of this collection will resonate with different people.You may feel that a piece may be too hippie-esque or delve too deep into economics (critiques of the first two pieces, respectively), but, no worries, it's about toiling over each piece and discovering that cohesive message.Enjoy-KB
