High Hopes: Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781683152125)

A life's journey told through poems of memory, nature, love, and the resilience of the human spirit...

In High Hopes, Ada Jo Mann traces the arc of a long, love filled life with a poet's eye and a storyteller's grace.

From Detroit childhood memories and the exhilaration of summer camp in Maine to the sweetness of motherhood, aging, and quiet evenings on the porch, these poems illuminate the extraordinary beauty within ordinary days.

With humor, tenderness, and unflinching honesty, Mann explores the complexities of family, friendship, loss, political unease, and the natural world's steadying presence.

Her poems invite us to slow down, listen closely, and rediscover the small miracles that carry us through fear, change, and time.

High Hopes is a celebration of endurance, gratitude, and the lifelong search for meaning in the world around us-and within ourselves.
