I am a few days late to this, but it's just what I needed this morning! (And your description of the overwhelm of work reminded me so viscerally of my years teaching high school in a really intense charter system. I found the Lunch Poems podcast that UC Berkeley did for a while, and I would listen to that driving through Houston traffic on the way home--there was a really excellent Robert Hass one, and listening to him read from the poems that became Time and Materials helped me reconnect with poetry.)

Thank you, Nancy! Your response here reminded me of how much I relied on some poetry podcasts and audiobooks during my own terrible Bay Area commutes, haha

Hi ! would it be possible to get the tarot decks references ? I find some of them very compelling.

Thanks for the letter.

Of course! In the top photo's top line, from left to right, it's the Smith-Waite Centennial by Pamela Colman Smith; The Fountain Tarot by Jonathan Saiz, Jason Gruhl, and Andi Todaro;, Dust II Onyx: A Melanated Tarot by Courtney Alexander; and The Circo Tarot by Marisa de la Peña. The tiny card at the bottom is from the Mesquite Tarot by Aleisha Fitz and Bronwyn Walls.

In the bottom photo, from left to right, it's the Pagan Otherworlds Tarot by Linnea Gits and Peter Dunham, Moon Power Tarot by Charlie Quintero, Small Spells Tarot by Rachel Howe, Star Spinner Tarot by Trung Le Nguyen, and The Alchemical Tarot: The Renewed 4th Edition by Robert M. Place.
