Around the World

About the Book - Around the World, was at some point just an idea tossed around through a phone line by Chuck a dear friend of mine, but it definitely evolved into a reality quickly. As we acknowledged the fact that the progress of technology has connected us in a profound way. We sought to use technology to connect us much more socially. In a time that really needed such a thing to do that as there was much divide being publicized. What better way than a book? Presenting authors asking the reader to give a little compassion and understanding to issues faced by us as humans. As writers we saw no better way than through the historic art known as poetry. But that wasn't the only part! With the help of another dear friend Elise. We were able to create a team searching out poets through social media(s) around the world! These countries would include Angola, Australia, Canada, Dominican Republic, England, Ethiopia, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nigeria, Oman, Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa, and the United States. If this book can serve any purpose to society it will be in three major aspects. One, we are struggling together. Two, we are much more similar than we are lead to believe through the media. Three, no matter how diverse we may be on the outside. The heart and soul of humanity beats and aches for a common peace and love for all of humanity as a majority. That alone should at least give a reason to open the cover of this book, because you aren't just experiencing a single person's viewpoint, but a variety of people's viewpoints. Allow the brilliant words of these authors to flow from the page through your eyes and to the heart that pumps the humanity into you.
