 Marjorie Evasco: Dreamweavers is a collection of poetry for women
Capturing Dreams and in which Marj Evasco conveys her own vision as a
Weaving Reality
woman. Men who are sons of women, on the other
hand, can sense the voices, feelings, passions, and

anxiety expressed in this collection through their
mothers.
Marjorie now takes on the role of a dreamweaver,
seizing the dreams of women who are unable to
speak and weaving them into the complicated fabric
of poetry. She was a founder member of Women
Writers Involved in Creating Cultural Alternatives, a
group dedicated to this objective. By empowering
women such as through writing, the organization
hopes to eradicate the forces that keep these
women silent.

Naming
Half the world together
Verse 1
It demonstrates that people are entitled to their own assumptions
based on their own experiences. Our deepest purpose for life is
simply because we have the right to do so, according to the right
to define our own existence. The prospect of being able to make a
long cut to the common core of experience appeals to each other.
Everyone, male or female, child or adult, is entitled to their own
definition of the world, according to the expression "everyone is
entitled to their own definition of the world." Make yourself stand
apart; all you have to do is identify what you can accomplish with
the commonalities that everyone shares.
Verse 6
Women are more powerful when they band together. Women exist
all over the world and are recognized as women or as human beings
all over the world. This verse appears to be protesting and
promoting women, and the reason places are mentioned and stated
to be "Naming" half the world together is because this verse appears
to be protesting and promoting women's right. That there is a woman
in each of the locations mentioned who is working to improve
women's organization and rights. They are able to spread the word
about women by having a lady in one area.
Verse 7
It highlights women's physical, spiritual, and cerebral capabilities.
The must house to their fire is similar to how really good women are
in various ways, due to the fact that they share many interests. And
lastly, the will of the women is what they are fighting for, and their
strength is just because of their dreams going smoothly.
In their own world, all women are capable of moving and standing on
their own. Not many women can turn their dreams into reality. But
they may write it in their dreams, and it will come true, since their
song is the life blood of their bodies. It implies that where there is
life, there is hope.
