Warren Hope: Selected and New Poems

Warren Hope’s poems are firmly grounded in reality. They are brief, clear, characterized by wit, but often distinguished by tenderness. A lyricist of the everyday, Hope recognizes and captures in words the small transformative moments of living.

The poems in this volume are those of a poetic craftsman, one fully at ease with his chosen discipline.
