About the book
Despair and Hope by Canadian writer and poet
Victoria West is a collection of poetry dedicated to our human
spirit and resilience. It’s a book inspired by the current
post-pandemic times we live in. The poems reflect the social unrest
of recent years, such as culture wars, the war in Ukraine, the
post-pandemic struggles of humanity. Part I, “Despair”, captures a
range of darker feelings and emotions, which are brought back to
light in Part II, “Hope”.
