I will be leading a free Tarot-card-inspired poetry workshop at BookTree bookstore in Kirkland on Saturday, March 2, from 4:24 p.m. until 6 p.m. At 6:15, following the class, I will be giving a poetry reading along with my friend Sandy Yannone. An Open Mic will come after the featured readers.

Here is a description of the workshop:

Poetry Inspired by the Tarot: An Intuitive Workshop 2024

Presented by Joanne M. Clarkson, Poet and Psychic

Ancient, symbolic wisdom guides poets to that creative place where heart, mind and spirit merge. Poet and psychic Joanne M. Clarkson will help participants work from deep intuition in this generative workshop. After briefly explaining the organization and meaning of the Tarot, participants will choose/draw cards from several decks provided. Joanne will then lead poets in both free-association and more formal exercises. Hand-outs on the Poetry-Tarot connection will be provided.  No experience with Tarot is necessary and writers of all levels are welcome.

I will be reading from my MoonPath Press book “Hospice House” which appeared last year. I am now working on a poetry manuscript based on psychic experiences and may read some new poems as well.  In addition, my brand new book on palm reading: “Psychic Palmistry, A Tool for Intuition,” will be available for purchase.
