THREADS

TAROT FOR ROMEO AND JULIET

This book is about the tension between how singular the manifestation of love is and what we assume, often wrongly, about the idea of togetherness. To know the difference means to know the heart of the other. To know the heart of man is, in fact, the highest, sages and artists tell us. But who has this gift? Lovers do. Lovers share a passion that exceeds common understanding, and yet their acting on it can be fraught.

It discusses the fragment’s performativity and function within a historical perspective, stretching from Heraclitus, via the German Romantics and European writers of the Modernist period, to American postmodern manifestations of the fragment.

TAROT TRACINGS

A book written for the curious reader who might like to know what some of the greatest literary figures in Western literature are up to when they read the Tarot, or use divination as inspiration for their work. Italo Calvino, Robert Browning, W.B. Yeats, and Rachel Pollack gather in a concatenation of voices across the page; voices that the author traces as if using transparent paper, a good ink pen, and an occasional draw with the Tarot cards for the idea that baffles, or the philosophy that resists the gratuitous.
