  The United States is at a critical crossroads, grappling with challenges that rival some of the toughest moments in its history. As crises multiply, the call for fresh, dynamic leaders becomes louder. There is, however, hope—grounded in our ability to learn from history and prepare younger generations for meaningful leadership and service. 
  In today’s fast-paced world, effective leaders must remain adaptable and attentive, forging deep connections with those they lead. The foundation of great leadership lies in a strong moral compass. Throughout history, the most impactful leaders have been idealists driven by a commitment to higher truths, unwavering in their values despite the harsh realities they faced. 
  The journey of a leader unfolds in two stages. The first is an inner journey, where individuals confront their values and grow through the hardships they face, fostering self-awareness and self-mastery. The second is the outer journey, where leaders engage with the world, learning to build trust, foster teamwork, and navigate external challenges. Together, these journeys prepare leaders to act decisively, especially during moments of crisis.

  Quiet Night Think - Poems & Essays

  “One function of the poet at any time is to discover by his own thought and feeling what seems to him to be poetry at that time,” writes Wallace Stevens. In Quiet Night Think, award-winning poet Gillian Sze expresses her own definition.
  		 
  During the remarkable period of early parenthood, Sze’s new maternal role urges her to contemplate her own origins, both familial and artistic. Comprised of six personal essays, poems, and a concluding long poem, Quiet Night Think takes its title from a direct translation of an eighth-century Chinese poem by Li Bai, the subject of the opening essay. Sze’s memory of reading Li Bai’s poem as a child marks the beginning of an unshakable encounter with poetry. What follows is an intimate anatomization of her particular entanglement with languages and cultures.
  		 
  In her most generically diverse book yet, Sze moves between poetry and prose, mother and writer, the lyrical and the autobiographical, all the while inviting readers to meditate with her on questions of emergence and transformation: What are you trying to be? Where does a word break off? What calls to us throughout the night?

  "Don't You Dare" is a compelling story that weaves together a current-day journey of discovery and a true-life love story between two women that took place over a hundred years ago. Newspaper headlines and stories back then didn't mention LGBTQ people. The LGBTQ community loved and lived in the background of society because it was too dangerous to do otherwise. All were hidden, just like the wedding photos belonging to author Gayla Turner's grandmother – Ruby. This unforgettable book begins with the discovery of these hidden wedding photos dated June 8, 1915. As these photos unveiled an awe-inspiring secret, Gayla Turner embarked on a seven-year journey to find out more about her grandmother and the woman standing next to her dressed as the groom.Curiosity led to extensive research that uncovered a love story between Ruby and the mystery woman in the photos. The author also uncovered a secret lesbian social club that was formed in the early 1900s by a local businesswoman. Women from as far away as Chicago traveled by train to the little farm town of Amherst, Wisconsin, to attend her exclusive parties. The local town people thought Cora held private tea and card parties so single young ladies could talk about how to find a husband. Little did they know, finding a man was not a subject of their conversations.
