Enter the poetic dreamscape of Piscean poets Sara Lupita Olivares and Alyssa Jewell. People born under the star sign of Pisces (Feb 19-March 20) are known for being old souls with a great affinity for both mystical and artistic realms. Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune, a planet of mystery and psychic energy. Pisceans are gifted with natural intuition and house creative gifts that truly captivate us. Dreams and poetry are a very natural intersection to find a creative Pisces.  

In this episode of The Fairy Ring, we discuss dreams and how they connect to poetry in seen and unseen ways. Grab a cup of tea and join us for our watery, dreamy, and poetic conversation.

 Sara Lupita Olivares is the author of Migratory Sound (The University of Arkansas Press), which was selected as winner of the 2020 CantoMundo Poetry Prize, and the chapbook Field Things (dancing girl press). Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in The New York Times, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Black Warrior Review, Salt Hill Journal, Quarterly West, and elsewhere. She currently lives and teaches in the midwest.
