This review is from: Fortune's Lover: A Book of Tarot Poems (Perfect Paperback)
A small book that slips easily into the pocket, Fortune's Lover will be treasured by poetry lovers, tarotists, and aficionados of Rachel Pollack's previous work. Speaking in a wise, gentle voice, Pollack in her poems reveals a life steeped in tarot lore. The poems themselves are evocative meditations on trumps chosen from a variety of decks. Each poetic gem glitters with facets of Kabbalistic lore, folk tale and fairytale, magic and mythology, and all are imbued with the psychological insight and humor characteristic of her books. If poetry, to quote Coleridge, is "the best words, in the best order", then Pollack's simple, laid back yet sophisticated verse ranks high. This fine little book leaves one yearning for more.
