Silver Linings is dedicated to expressing hope through poetry. LaVan Robinson and Lisa Tomey took their two different poetry styles and both combined and responded to expressions. Ending with individual writings of each poet, Silver Linings is a portrayal of perspectives as each writer strives to express their hope for this world. As each poem was examined, the true meaning of hope and reality was complex, apparent, and sometimes gray. A common belief in the ability of humanity to come together served to fuel the fire behind the pen.
