From Persephone’s descent to the turning of a card, Today, Aries illuminates cosmic binaries to understand all that exists within & outside them. These poems are elegant & inspire infinite perspectives & possibilities past, present, & future to not only find meaning in the cosmos, but one’s place within it. Kalie Pead pays homage to liminal spaces & curiosity in this coming-of-tarot story.
*Today, Aries is largely inspired by an online tarot generator also created by Kalie Pead in conjunction with this book. This generator takes 156 poem fragments & randomizes them to create a divinatory meaning or “reading”, utilizing poetry for divination.
"Reflecting in baptismal pools five petaled peach blooms but the body survives
Bishop we all know no one floats the dead to the afterlife motherboard sparks a setting sun on a binary garden
the horse within the poem unstable here—
this is not hometown it’s okay to build a goodbye"
-Kalie Pead
