My Hope is Not a Wish, by Chantal House

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

To read a poem, or draw with your children, or spend time with nature is a radical act of defiance in a world designed to steal our attention away from what matters most.

My Hope is Not a Wish is a call for every one of us to take our creativity seriously because the time for outlandish imagination is now. We need to summon it, trust it and lead our lives with it so that when our children ask us what we did in the face of injustice, we can show them all the ways our hope took hold.

All author’s profits from the sale of this chapbook will go to Amnesty International.
