It has been claimed that James Barron Hope was "Virginia's Laureate." He did not deal in "abstractions, or generalized arguments," or vague mysticisms. He fired the imagination purely, he awoke lofty thoughts and presented, through his noble odes that which is the soul of "every true poem, a living succession of concrete images and pictures." from the Introduction to A WREATH OF VIRGINIA BAY LEAVES. POEMS OF JAMES BARRON HOPE. (JANEY HOPE MARR (EDITOR))
