Dreams of Passing Fire is a collaborative poetry collection with two distinct voices echoing the experiences of a shared journey. Katherine January and Rebecca Ring set out in September of 2019 to traverse what they could of the Camino de Santiago, an ancient trail across northern Spain. Their plan to finish the journey the following year was disrupted by the pandemic, so instead, from the isolation of their own homes, they ventured out in words, beginning from a common starting place-a town, an image, an encounter-then diving inward. What began as an odyssey on foot became Dreams of Passing Fire. The uniqueness of this collection of thirty poems is the interweaving of two voices, two points of view on the same interrupted journey and its after-journey. Though the poems were written individually, what evolved was a dynamic conversation on themes universal to all seekers. The poems cross paths with one other as they wander on and off the trail, into the poets' lives and back. In this collection, the reader is invited into a stereoscopic rendering of landscapes both inner and earthly.
