Catcher of Things

The dreamcatcher is an American Indian craft item, and its symbolism can certainly serve as a muse for poetic exploration. Both dreamcatchers and poetry can explore the ethereal and imaginative realms, and like a dreamcatcher, the poet can draw inspiration from cultural symbols and rituals, incorporating them into our work to convey a sense of connection to heritage or the spiritual.
