"Along with the grace of your poems, there’s a kick—they are “harmoniously salty.” Your work is a many-splendored pleasure to read."
~ Angela Ball, poet and professor at the University of Southern Mississippi

"The poems in Striking Light from Ashes burn into the mind and soul. From current events to fairy tales, Hoge's poems play with form and content in a way that salvages light from near darkness."
~ Robert Lee Brewer, author of Solving the World's Problems and editor of Poet's Market

Identity & Creativity Guides

"There is an abundance of self-help books on the market, but this unique workbook gets you to sit down and take on the task of putting your sense of "self" back where it needs to be when coping with a new and different environment. This book is not just about coping with change, but how to get back that person (yourself) you feel you may have lost in the move."

~ Donna Ayerst, former Family Liaison Office (FLO) Publications Coordinator, U.S. Department of State
