A beguiling collection of poetry inspired by tarot, exploring human experiences and relationships.

In Jake Arthur's second collection, a tarot reader invites us to a reading over tea. Vivid scenes and impressions emerge, depicting episodes from different lives: a woman training a robin, parents at a school interview, a man cast overboard. Each card prompts characters to contemplate their uncertainties, hopes, and joys.

Inspired by the Rider-Waite tarot deck, these poems guide us through the complexities of life, prompting reflection and offering glimpses of clarity. Grapple your way towards a clear path with this evocative collection.
