50 LETTERS OF HOPE Hope is something most of us befriend on a daily basis whether we are navigating our day to day routine or making our way through a dark moment. Hope is the light amidst the darkness, like stars lighting up the night sky. In this show, we explore the connections between poetry and hope.
