Crystal Wolfe

The Resurrected Dream Crystal Wolfe

This collection of poetry and prose speaks to the heart of the dreamers, and the American Dream, in need of resurrection. For each poem, I sought to find a unique font to match its spirit. I wanted each poem to stand alone. I divided the book into Four Parts. Part One, Dreaming Dreams, expresses who I am, establishing my dreams. In Part Two, Broken Dreams, the poems and prose go into some of the pain and grief in my life, such as losing my father Jay Wolfe, to cancer. There are some political poems about the injustices going on in America, and the theme of lost love is also in this section, which I think most people can relate to. In Part Three, Chasing Dreams goes into my travels and a few places I have lived where I sought to make my dreams come true. There's a poem about my lifelong dream of going to Europe, especially to Scotland, and some prose about going to Stonehenge. These were dreams that have come true. In Part Four, Resurrected Dreams, I write about the death and resurrection of the American Dream, and how by enduring our tests and trials, we can create works of art that inspire others. In this, we dreamers find our immortality, our humanity, and our divinity. Some of the poems shared in the book are award-winning, but most of all, I hope that these poems open the minds and touch the hearts of all who read them.
