Dial-up and Day Dreams ~ Poetry and Prose Volume I

Slip off your shoes, press play on the mixtape, and come home to the glow of a computer screen humming with possibility. In Dial-Up and Daydreams, Volume I of the Poetry and Prose series, Britt Wolfe captures the aching tenderness of growing up in a world that was just beginning to log on.

With each page, Wolfe resurrects the magic of the in-between—the era of landlines and late-night chats, VHS tapes and voicemails, daydreams and dial-tones. It’s a love letter to friendship bracelets and fuzzy butterfly clips, to the girls we were and the women we’ve become.

This anthology blends poetry and prose into an intimate, emotionally resonant collection that speaks to anyone who ever scribbled in the margins of a notebook or fell in love with the idea of someone through a glowing screen. Dial-Up and Daydreams is tender, nostalgic, and beautifully honest—a mirror held up to a generation raised on MSN Messenger and messy first love.

For everyone who still remembers the sound of the internet connecting, and the feeling of yourself disconnecting just to survive—it’s time to log back in.
