Lillian Moats draws upon mythology, philosophy, literary and aesthetic traditions, and life experience to construct a unique poetic book that expands readers’ understanding of the intricate, contradictory, and surprisingly complementary relationship between hope and despair. By personifying these qualities, Moats challenges readers to envision genuine hope that transcends its imposters. Her portrayal is an original blend of philosophy, fantasy, and artistry that urges humans to look clearly at the evidence for despair and re-create possibilities for a better world. I hope in her HOPE.
