Collection of Hope is a creative defeat from the opening to the conclusion. Justinah McFadden has again painted struggle as a stepping stone to faith, belief, and hope. In this collection of poetry readers will find a hidden truth in every word, bliss within every sentence, and life within each poem. Collection of Hope is an artistic feast ready to be devoured. Since the time of Langston Hughes, I have not witnessed such passion in the work of a young poet.
