Tarot Project

Carol Ann Brown is heading a Lawrence Metaphysical Fair in July, and it fascinates me!

"Body Therapeutics is a unique studio specializing in the treatment of physical ailments, removal of emotional blockages and trauma, cellular memory release, DNA adjustments, body balancing, channeling, intuitive readings, as well as pastoral counseling, and officiating at weddings."

Reading this, I see my poetry in attempting to do the same. Let me try something:

My poetry is "unique . . . in the treatment of physical ailments, removal of emotional blockages and trauma,
cellular memory release, DNA adjustments, body balancing, channeling, intuitive readings, as well as pastoral counseling."

Okay, a little carried away, but why not challenge myself in these post-Beat ways?

I bought a used Tarot book at Dusty Bookshelf, and kick myself for losing it.

This project uses old Tarot guides for creating new metaphors.

Also, Trance Poetics, via Kristin Prevallet.

Add immersion writing.

As part of Northern Spark, Rain Taxi and the Walker Art Center offer night visitors a unique poetry "reading." A small tribe of our most prescient writers will lay out cards containing themes, images, and questions (instead of the traditional Tarot), then will write—on the spot—a poem for you based on the results. You’ll emerge from this reverie with a personalized poetry fortune to take with you on the rest of your Northern Spark journey and beyond. We predict we'll see you there!
