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.
2019 | r. tanksley and k. hiatt’s debut collection is a stunning synthesis of heart piercing poetry and captivating nature photography.
Personifying the Eight of Swords card from Tarot’s Minor Arcana Suit of Swords, Tanksley’s poetry takes us on her journey from the bound and blindfolded victim to self actualization. Hiatt’s photographs illuminate the hauntingly beautiful aspects of each setting of the journey-the fall at the edge of the cliff, the outline of Earthshine over the twilight forest, ending under the starlit sky at the ocean’s edge. Altered Tarot asks us to surrender to our own vulnerabilities, to name them as strengths, to be brave enough to break free of our self imposed prisons.
