Poetry surely is the highest and richest form of written human expression. In poems, language carries subtle connotations and references and suggestions, expanding the meaning even as poetry offers us fresh arrangements of words that move and inspire uniquely. And so we suggest that you explore a new book, “Songs of a Certain Humanity.” All royalties for the first full year will go to the Humanity Project.
The book was written by our founder, Bob Knotts, his 27th published book. It is a collection of 40 poems, 14 song lyrics and a dozen fables that he penned over a period of 25 years. Many of those poems and all of the fables focus on topics and values that form the foundation of the Humanity Project. We think you will find the anthology uplifting and moving — and surprising in some ways. You can buy “Songs of a Certain Humanity” at any bookseller. Here is a link to purchase it on Amazon: Check out the book’s Amazon page. The cost is just $12.99 hardcover, $5.99 paperback or $2.99 e-book. And this is the book at Barnes & Noble online.
The dedication in “Songs of a Certain Humanity” makes clear Bob’s intent in writing these diverse works over such a long time: “This book is dedicated to our common humanity, the core of goodness and inherent value within every person.” That idea sits at the center of his works here and in other writings such as his book, “Beyond Me: Dissecting Ego To Find The Innate Love At Humanity’s Core .” And it’s what this organization is all about, founded nearly 17 years ago.
We hope you’ll explore the poems, lyrics and fables in “Songs of a Certain Humanity.” Your purchase will go to help the Humanity Project promote “Equality For Each, Respect For All” — and perhaps inspire you to feel a little better about yourself and the human race as well.
