Hope in Hateful Times is a poetry collection rooted in rage that refuses to rot into despair, and in the divine feminine freed from society's predatory shackles. It is an invitation to treat love as sacred and community as a deliberate act of resistance. Lyrical and often rhymed, these poems carry a careful musicality rooted in poetic tradition, offered not as an assignment but as a hand reaching out in the dark. They balance political urgency with gentle intimacy, myth with modernity, and fury with humor and light.
