Sharing Myself Through Poetry
In The Willow Weepings, you explore a vast array of human emotions and connections to the natural world through your poetry. Why was it important for you to share this collection with readers?
It was important for me to share this collection of poetry with my readers because of the vast importance of the connection of humans. I wanted to share my love and thoughts with others about how I not only see but feel the world. Nature and emotion are found in everything to me and I love sharing myself and ideas with individuals. I hope to spark new thoughts in their daily lives and how beautifully complex, yet simple moments of life can be.
Are there certain selections in The Willow Weepings that resonate especially deeply with you?
The entirety of The Willow Weepings resonates deeply with me. However, the second half of the book (The Weepings) resonates with one of the most heartbreaking eras of my life. Everything in the state of heartbreak and deep emotion was either new or so deep-rooted in me that in the reflection of it, I have learned so much. I love to share the range of emotions I can go through because it is only natural and all feelings are of importance and inevitable.
What were some of your inspirations as a writer?
Some of my inspirations as a writer were the earth around me, my friends, the idea of love, and my physical vs mental being. Those inspirations highly influence my daily life and my art. I find myself always looking to grow and I feel those things support that idea in my life greatly.
What is the next book you are working on, and when will it be available?
The next book I will be working on will be a third collection of poetry, as well as a children’s poetry book. The third collection will be available sometime in 2024 and the children’s poetry book will most likely not be too far behind. I am very excited to be sharing more of myself through my poetry in what I know, as well as new territory!

The Willow Weepings
The Willow Weepings, by Kendall Hope, takes readers on an evocative journey through the landscape of human emotion, skillfully blending the art of narrative and lyrical expression. This collection serves as a conduit for reflection, heartache, healing, and the blossoming of the self.
Within its pages, several pieces resonated deeply with me. “The Melted House” is succinct yet brimming with a spectrum of sentiments that evoke a sense of humility and wonder. In contrast, “Dung Beetle” employs a modest creature to delve into life’s complexities, demonstrating the compelling use of metaphor in crafting engaging poetry. “Today, I Am Happy” sparkles with its celebration of life’s simple pleasures, capturing the essence of joy in the mundane.
The centerpiece of the collection is “Soulmate Collector,” a unique and captivating exploration of loss that showcases Kendall Hope’s narrative skill. This piece engages readers with such emotional intensity that it may leave one pausing to reflect on the experience.
In The Willow Weepings, Kendall Hope shines as a distinguished poet, her words painting vivid images that stir the soul. Readers are invited to embark on a poignant voyage through her poetic landscape, a transformative experience that leaves a lasting impression. This book comes with a high recommendation; Kendall’s expressive power creates a noteworthy addition to contemporary poetry collections.
