Tarot, Creativity, and Writing with Sarah Henstra

  • Type Books 883 Queen Street West Toronto, ON, M6J 1G5 Canada (map)

Join novelist Sarah Henstra and poet Liz Worth for short readings and conversation about how tarot cards can offer a map for creativity and spark new writing. And under a Full Moon, no less!

Sarah Henstra's latest novel, The Lost Tarot, explores the mysteries of art, kinship, secret societies and the struggle for power through one young art historian's quest for a missing collection of tarot paintings. Sarah won the Governor General's Literary Award for her 2018 novel The Red Word. She is a professor of English at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Liz Worth's new poetry collection Inside Every Dream, a Raging Sea elevates the everyday, celebrating memory as individual folklore. 

What happens when we start to see the words we speak as spells? Where do the lines of ritual, magic, and daily life blur? Inspired by Worth’s professional tarot reading, these poems explore the thin veil between them and suggest it barely exists at all.
