A dreamoir is a hybrid writing style that brings creative nonfiction, poetry, prose, music, and digital storytelling together. These pieces are meant to be "stories based on journalistic facts that would be redeemed from their mortality by the astute devices of poetry," as Gabriel García Márquez wrote in the prologue to Strange Pilgrims, his book of short stories translated in 1993. "Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it." - Gabriel García Márquez
