Hoping It Might Be So brings together all of Kit Wright's previous collections for adults as well as three dozen new poems.

Sean O'Brien in the Times Literary Supplement described Kit Wright as 'a masterly yet modest poet' while Ruth Padel in the Independent on Sunday said that 'all through his work there is that poignancy, darkness, brush with despair, which marks great comic work.'
