Reading: Altered Tarot: The End of Love by r. tanksley, photography by k. hiatt

  • Rose City Book Pub 1329 Northeast Fremont Street Portland, OR, 97212 United States (map)

r. tanksley and k. hiatt invite you to celebrate with poetry and photography! They’re proud to launch ALTERED TAROT: The End Of Love, the product of a healing journey via the pen and the lens. Follow @alteredtarot and join the creators for a conversation, reading, and book signing.

Altered Tarot: The End of Love asks readers to disentangle from the past and prepare for what is approaching. r. tanksley’s deeply personal poems are set atop k. hiatt’s bold photography creating a work that exemplifies the duality inherently present in the world. This duality, an important aspect of tarot practice, manifests in the spaces between day and night, black and white, negative and positive—the spaces between raw emotion and spiritual familiarity. Containing more than eighty affecting poems and photographs and organized into a 5-card tarot spread in four parts, this collection traverses the elements air, water, earth, and fire, and maps an unending journey of self-discovery. Present themes include loss, grief, heartache, trauma, womanhood, and finding power in actively healing.
