The theme of hope, a poetic motif deeply rooted in the human experience, serves as the focal point of this research paper. This comparative study explores how two divergent voices in the world of poetry, Emily Dickinson from the 19th century and Rupi Kaur, a contemporary sensation, employ hope as a recurring and transformative element in their respective works. Despite the disparities in historical context, style, and cultural backgrounds, both poets intricately weave the thread of hope through their verses, offering unique insights into the multifaceted nature of this theme. Emily Dickinson’s reclusive and enigmatic poems, alongside Rupi Kaur’s candid and minimalist expressions, converge on the subject of hope, inviting a cross-temporal and cross- cultural dialogue. This research paper critically examines selected poems by these two poets, shedding light on the thematic and stylistic complexities underpinning their interpretations of hope. Through this exploration, the paper aims to showcase how hope has adapted to evolving societal norms, technological landscapes, and personal experiences. By placing Emily Dickinson and Rupi Kaur in conversation, this study reveals the profound and transformative power of hope in poetry. It delves into the philosophical, emotional, and cultural dimensions of hope as envisioned by these poets, elucidating the diverse ways in which they harness this motif to engage with their readers and make sense of the world.
