Dial-Up and Daydreams
Poetry and Prose Volume I
Dial-Up and Daydreams is a poetic love letter to the lost decade of dial tones, mixtapes, burned CDs, and coming-of-age under the weight of pop culture, breaking news, and butterfly hair clips. In this nostalgic, tender, and emotionally charged anthology, Britt Wolfe captures what it felt like to grow up with one foot in the analogue past and the other stepping hesitantly into a digital future.
Divided into three acts-Breaking the World Gently, Scheduled Programming, and Hit Replay-this collection weaves together poems and poetic fragments about the headlines that shaped us, the television shows that raised us, and the music that held us through everything we didn't yet have words for. It's a time capsule built of static and longing.
From Rodney King to Kurt Cobain, Dawson's Creek to MuchMusic, cassette tapes to the early days of internet chatrooms, this collection speaks directly to the kids who grew up feeling too much in a world that never paused to explain itself.
This is not just poetry-it's memory in motion. A mixtape made of grief, joy, and everything we left behind in locker notes and late-night conversations.
If you've ever rewound a VHS to feel something again, this book is for you.
