In this workshop we will use the enigmatic and fascinating imagery of Tarot cards to see where they take us. \nAfter a brief introduction by Pamela\, Ariane will lead participants through writing exercises that will begin with written prompts and then progress to Tarot Card prompts. Participants will have an opportunity to read the poems they create. \n  \nAriane Blackman is a writer and poet who loves the unexpected. Her published works include two books of poetry—No One Sleeps (LyricalMyrical Press\, 2013) and The River Doesn’t Stop (Aeolus House\, 2018)—and a novel\, The Unexpected Journeys of Lawrence Tyrone (LE Press\, 2018). She is co-editor of Juniper\, an on-line poetry publication. \nPamela Yuen was born to Hong Kong migrants in rural Ontario. She is an expressive writing facilitator with the Toronto Writers’ Collective and serves on the executive committee of Canadian Authors Association–Toronto. Recordings of her spoken word poetry can be heard through Brickyard\, an audio-visual hub of Brick Books. \n
