Professor Sarah Wider, a scholar of American Renaissance thinkers who also specializes in women's studies and American English literature, discusses how she has been encouraged by the writings of Daisaku Ikeda and reflects on the role of Soka Gakkai in society. She and Ikeda collaborated on The Art of True Relations: Conversations on the Poetic Heart of Human Possibility, a heartwarming dialogue that illuminates the power of dialogue and the revival of the poetic spirit while exploring such diverse subjects as women, friendship, art, literature and education.
