A.D. Hope was born in Cooma, southern NSW, in 1907, the son of a Presbyterian minister. He was educated at the University of Sydney and Oxford University, and lectured at Sydney Teachers' College and Melbourne University, before being appointed Professor of English at Canberra University College, later to become the Australian National University. He retired from this position in 1968 to devote himself to poetry.

His subsequent collections include Poems (1960), Collected Poems 1930-1965 (1966), New Poems 1965-1969 (1969), A Late Picking (1975), A Book of Answers (1978), Antechinus: Poems 1975-1980 (1981), The Age of Reason (1985), Orpheus (1991) and Selected Poems (1992).
