When Hope Can Kill & the Midnight Sun Poems

When Hope Can Kill & the Midnight Sun Poems is about how relationships form and dissolve in the most unlikely of places, how the old wars of the heart bemuse and confound. In the twilight world where nothing fails to sink below the horizon and everything depends on a fragile peace, people loose and find themselves after the fact. Love rescinded demands brutal answers to complicated questions, and hate diminishes and returns with renewed vigor. Combining a restless brew of honesty, anger and irony, Hughes has created a stark world with frightening and beautiful writing.
