MEASURING TWINE
Measuring Twine: Poetry With Strings Attached is a bundle of contemporary poems written by four generations of poets, spanning 60 years. They live across the United States, and all are past or present student of James Masao Mitsui. Their work displays a love of writing and living beyond a water glass that's half-full. Their poetry is accessible to everyone, as William Carlos Williams said it should be. These poems are understandable, entertaining and nostalgic, yet challenging enough to stir dreams & imagination and cause some introspection.
The poets: Leslie Admire; Nancy Bechtolt; Katy E. Ellis; Tyler Fish; Marilyn Haight; Stacy Hero; Ruth Huber; Alison Kinnahan; Ellen McGehee; Steph Milligan; Steve Murphy; Arlene Naganawa; Haran Phaneuf; Charlotte Saucedo; Virginia Schierscher; James Seals; Adam J. Settingsgaard; Madeleine Sterkowicz; Shawna Tews; Annette Tischler; Eleanore D. Trupkiewicz; and Steve Weistling.

NO ONE EVER TOLD ME: POEMS FOR PEOPLE OVER FIFTY
"Time to read poetry that William Carlos Williams would have said was for the people on back streets & country roads , in urban high rises & gated communities. Here are poems that deal with the issues that face us all, whether we reside in Sun City, Paterson, Mankato, Temecula, or Meridian. These poems, their front doors and windows left open like Edward Hopper paintings, reveal elements of the human condition, regardless of our age, regardless of how we pay the bills, regardless of how we spend our weekends, regardless of whether we believe in politics or religion. You know the people who live in these exceptional poems by Marilyn Haight."
James Masao Mitsui
The Emeritus College, Arizona State University
Marilyn Haight's free-verse poetry lays bare the unspoken thoughts and emotions we experience as we grow older. While some of the poems are humorous, all deal with serious subjects, such as living in an aging body; dealing with ongoing loss; and looking toward a future that’s shorter than the past. These poems can make you laugh, or give you permission to cry about things that change our later lives in ways that make us feel happy and sad, connected and lonely, complete and unfinished--conflicting emotions that reside in our being, whether or not we want them.

MOST TRUSTED LEADER:
HOW EMPLOYEES JUDGE LEADERSHIP
Are you the kind of leader who gets the best results because employees genuinely respect you? Or do employees suck up to you only because of your position, delivering less than their best? How can you be sure?
Many leadership definitions have been written by former CEO's who might have gotten better results if they had known what their employees knew. A slew of other definitions have been written by consultants who've convinced managers that the latest formula will magically turn ordinary bosses into the "real thing." But these definitions don't influence or fool employees--they have their own ideas.
Based on real people and events, the story in 'Most Trusted Leader: How Employees Judge Leadership' introduces the principles by which employees assess your performance--based on their role model, who might surprise you.
If you're wondering why employees' opinions of your leadership matter, well...you ought to read this story.
