The Reverie Poem reads:

The reverie of a familiar ache
finger pressur'd touch to
move the soil in bitter ground
to scorch only by your hand.

Lend your fire only with care as 
the root
the flame burn'd through the will
born only in this fired hearth

The Vessel collection pieces have been created to protect or store a desired object. Each Vessel is inscribed with a poem inspired by the object's eventual use.

“If it is a human thing to do to put something you want, because it’s useful, edible, or beautiful, into a bag, or a basket, or a bit of rolled bark or leaf, or a net woven of your own hair, or what have you, and then take it home with you, home being another, larger kind of pouch or bag, a container for people, and then later on you take it out and eat it or share it or store it up for winter in a solider container or put it in the medicine bundle or the shrine or the museum, the holy place, the area that contains what is sacred, and then the next day you probably do much the same again—if to do that is human, if that’s what it takes, then I am a human being after all. Fully, freely, gladly, for the first time....”

- Ursula LeGuin, Carrier Bag of Fiction
