Hotchpotch is an anthology of poems by the new and emerging writer, Melanie Hope.

Hotchpotch is the story of life with all its ups and downs; it is the essence of a life-lived with many a nod to the great writers and poets of legend. Melanie writes from within and draws many a parallel that resonates within the heart of many a reader - Hotchpotch is a work for all with a story of their own.
